During their traditional migratory stopover, a flock of black-tailed godwits landed at the Ostrovik meadow in the SPA Senianske rybníky. This species no longer breeds in Slovakia due to the loss of suitable habitats, but dozens of individuals stop here during migration. We hope that if habitat conditions improve—also thanks to the LIFE 4 STEPPE BIRDS project—godwits may one day return to Slovakia as breeding birds.
