Since its migration routes regularly pass through inland areas, it can also be observed regularly in Switzerland, mainly in the wetlands of the Swiss lowlands. In spring, it usually migrates quickly to its breeding areas and only rests a few times. During this time, undisturbed stopover sites with sufficient food are all the more important.
