The bird species af-fected were black-headed gull, Larus ridibundus L. (several tens of carcasses); lapwing, Vanellus vanellus (L.) (several carcasses); little ringed plover, Charadrius dubius Scop. (one carcass: adult bird); ruff, Philomachus pugnax (L.) (one carcass); wood sandpiper, Tringa glareola L. (one carcass); and, most notably, avocet, Recurvirostra avosetta L.
