Current state of Black-tailed Godwits Limosa limosa limosa breeding in France
In recent decades, the NW Europe population of the nominate subspecies of the Black-tailed Godwit, Limosa limosa limosa, has been in steep decline. As no changes in survival have been apparent so far, these declines are likely to have been caused by declines in recruitment, possibly due to decreasin...
