About the artwork

The black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa), with its long bill and distinctive call, is a striking bird that is common in the Alblasserwaard polder during spring. This meadow bird is known for its annual migration between its breeding grounds in Europe and its wintering grounds in Africa.

In spring, godwits return to the polder to breed. They build their nests on the ground, often hidden among the tall grasses of the meadows. Females usually lay four eggs, which they incubate together with their partner for about four weeks.

After hatching, the chicks are cared for by both parents. They feed on insects and other small invertebrates found in the muddy soil of the polder. During this time, the parents are very vigilant and protect their chicks from possible predators such as birds of prey and foxes.

As summer progresses, the chicks grow rapidly and develop their ability to fly. When the time is right, they leave the polder with their parents and begin their long journey to Africa, where they will spend the winter.

The presence of godwits in the Alblasserwaard polder is not only a sign of spring, but also an indication of biodiversity and the importance of conserving meadow bird habitat. This photo shows well the cooperation between farmers and meadow birds.
