The breeding population of meadow-breeding waders in the Dellstedt bog area in the west of Schleswig-Holstein was investigated from 1969 to 2005. The breeding populations of four species (Eurasian Lapwing Vanellus vanellus, Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago, Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata) declined drastically; two species (Eurasian Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus and Redshank Tringa totanus) have almost disappeared from the area.
