Résumé :
|
This paper presents available count data to review population sizes and trends of seven species of grassland and saltmarsh breeding shorebirds (hereafter ‘meadow birds’) in Denmark: Eurasian Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus, Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata, Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus, Common Redshank Tringa totanus, Dunlin Calidris alpina, Ruff Calidris pugnax and Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa. Knowledge about population sizes and trends is fairly fragmentary because Denmark has no national monitoring programme covering the more widespread species such as Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Curlew and Redshank. The less numerous and more localized Dunlin, Ruff and Black-tailed Godwit are better monitored through conservation projects and national monitoring programs.
