		The contraction in breeding range and numbers is probably a better gauge of the plight of this species than changes in wintering or passage range and numbers, since the birds are clearly capable of changing their patterns of movement according to circumstance, so that increases or decreases may not reflect real-world changes, merely geographical shifts.
		Russia The main reason for the sharp decline in its numbers during the twentieth century was the destruction of its nesting habitats through the drainage of marshlands, and their subsequent ploughing and use for the cultivation of cereals and other agricultural crops (Potapov and Flint 1987).
