Abstract
Body weight variation and fat deposition of 111 Common Sandpipers Actitis hypoleucos L. are analysed in the Ría de Vigo, North‐west Spain, during their autumn migration. Retrapped birds did not show notable fat deposition and no body weight variation was found, but long staging periods were recorded. Discussions about body condition and its implication on the migratory strategy of the species are presented.
