Résumé :	The Azov-Black Sea region and particularly the Sivash is an important stopover site for waders during their spring and autumn migration. A total of 24,477 waders of 33 species have been ringed by the Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Station between 1986 and 1995 in these areas, mainly during the migration period. In total 1298 recoveries of 21 species were analysed including 490 long-distance and 808 local recoveries. Although preliminary, these analyses give insight in migration patterns of species like Dunlin, Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint, Broad-billed Sandpiper, Ruff, Wood Sandpiper, Redshank and Lapwing including the connections between the East Atlantic and Mediterranean flyways. The Azov-Black Sea region is a staging site of major importance on the Mediterranean flyway for fattening and moulting of waders during autumn migration on the way to their Mediterranean and African wintering grounds as well as for putting up fat reserves for their spring migration towards the arctic breeding grounds.
