The effect of measures for the Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus in Switzerland and recommendations for its conservation. – The population of the Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus in Switzerland declined during the last decades and is now very low with about 100 pairs at less than 20 regular and some 30 irregular breeding sites. In order to enhance current conservation measures for this species, SVS/BirdLife Switzerland, the Ala, Swiss Society for the Study and Conservation of Birds, and the Swiss Ornithological Institute made an assessment of the ongoing conservation activities and their effects on the Lapwing population. We present the results of these activities together with an overview of additional measures for the Lapwing applied in other countries. Based on these data and expert knowledge, recommendations are given. In Switzerland, the following habitat types fulfil at present the requirements for the breeding of Lapwings if they meet a series of criteria: marshlands, agricultural areas (crops and meadows with short vegetation), regenerated areas and special habitats (vegetated flat roofs of large buildings and others). Important are the following characteristics which in the present situation can only be achieved and secured in the long term by specific, target oriented conservation measures: broad visibility for incubating birds on the nest, low vegetation at the nest site, not too dense vegetation allowing adults and young birds to move freely, but providing sufficient cover to give shelter for the chicks, as few obstacles as possible between nest site and feeding areas especially for the chicks, little disturbance and low loss rates of eggs as well as young and adult birds due to agriculture and predation. These requirements should be met on large areas suitable for colonies of at least 6–12 breeding pairs and in a mosaic throughout the surface. For all recommendations we propose specific measures.
