Describing habitat and finding colour rings of Black-tailed Godwits (Limosa limosa) in Doñana, Spain, from 3 – 10 October 2018
The Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa; BTG) is a meadow bird (Verstrael 1987; Thijse 1904). The current Dutch population is estimated at fewer than 40.000 breeding pairs (Kentie et al. 2016) and represents an important part of the total continental BTG population Limosa limosa limosa.
