Having been regarded as wastelands until quite recently, wetlands are increasingly acknowledged as ecosystems of high biodiversity. Wetland restoration projects are often accompanied by the implementation of specific species management programs. Naturally, for effective management measures, profound knowledge of the target speciesʼ ecological requirements is obligatory, including habitat selection, feeding ecology as well as spatial behaviour such as movements within and between patches of suitable habitat. Yet, big knowledge gaps exist for many marshland birds which is particularly true for highly secretive species such as rails and crakes. Considered as the least known among the Palaearctic breeding birds, most information about the Baill...
