Vadefugle er små og mellemstore fugle og er kendt for deres lange, slanke ben, der gør dem velegnede til at vade i vandet. Vadefugle har ofte lange næb, som de bruger til at fange smådyr, insekter, orme og andre byttedyr, som oftest findes på lavt vand.
Du kan finde vadefugle langs med kyster eller søer og åer, hvor der er dynd eller sand.
Vadefugle er for de fleste arters vedkommende monogame. Hos mange arter skiftes kønnene til at ruge på æggene, men hen mod klækningen er det hannerne, der ruger mest.
English:
Waders are small to medium-sized birds known for their long, slender legs, which make them well-suited for wading in water. Waders often have long bills that they use to catch small creatures, insects, worms, and other prey, which are usually found in shallow water.
You can find waders along coasts or lakes and rivers, where there is mud or sand.
Waders are mostly monogamous. In many species, the sexes take turns to incubate the eggs, but towards hatching, it is the males that incubate the most.
Many waders migrate thousands of kilometers each year between their breeding grounds in the Arctic and their wintering grounds in more temperate or tropical regions. Waders often travel in large flocks, creating spectacular sights for birdwatchers.
