Résumé :	The Rock Pipit is a common but often overlooked wintering bird in the salt marshes of the German Wadden Sea. It shows preferences for ungrazed salt marshes with high vegetation, where it feeds along the muddy edges of the ditches. As there is a lack of information about the distribution in the Wadden Sea, the numbers for single sites are discussed and important wintering areas identified. The wintering population is estimated to consist of 2200-3100 birds in Niedersachsen and at least 1000 birds in Schleswig-Holstein. The consequences of human impact and protection of the salt marshes are discussed.
