Abstract
Analysis of weight variation, based on monthly mean weights for ten wader species occurring on the Wash demonstrating the patterns of season weight variation. For each species the trends are interpreted in terms of adaptations and responses to specific life cycle events and potential feeding difficulties which arise from winter environmental conditions.Keywords
