Résumé :	From the beginning the Ismaninger Reservoir near Munich was an important resting ground for migrating waders. Until 1955, the water level oscillated every day, to drive a hydroelectric power-station. This exposed extensive mudflats offering ideal conditions for resting waders. Subsequently the minimum level was officially defined at 496 meters, which resulted in fewer mudflats. In 2005 the waterlevel was lowered for some months because of construction works, this again producing extensive mudflats. The phenology of the appearance of regular waders at the Ismaninger Speichersee is here illustrated.
