Habitat selection and home range sizes of 57 breeding black-tailed godwits (Limosa limosa limosa) tracked by Argos PTT satellite transmitters in 2013-2019 were examined as a function of agricultural land-use intensity over the entire Netherlands. The godwits selected grasslands with lower land-use intensity from the available area at different spatial scales. Additionally, core area sizes of godwit home range increased with the land-use intensity. This nation-wide study suggests that intensive grasslands are less favoured by godwits probably because they have limited resource and frequent farming disturbance, which also leads godwits to forage over larger area in intensive grassland.
