Résumé :	The special place of Britain & Ireland in wader distributions and flyways has been revealed and illuminated through the efforts of many kinds of birdwatchers and scientists, using methods ranging from simple counting and recording to isotopic analysis and satellite-tracking. Knowledge of some topics is still inadequate or lacking altogether, however, and this may hamper wader conservation. The migration patterns of waders in Britain & Ireland appear to be changing in response to broad-scale changes in climate and land-use, and are likely to continue to do so over future decades. Against this background, the conservation of wader populations will depend on continuing studies, using the full range of traditional and advanced techniques.
