In the Wadden Sea, it occurs in flocks of tens of thousands as a frequent passage migrant and winter visitor. In inland areas, however, it is relatively rare and can only be admired in small flocks. Unlike the Black-tailed Godwit, the Bar-tailed Godwit is more frequent in Switzerland in autumn than in spring.
