Abstract
Mida Creek, one of the most important sites for shorebirds in the Kenya coast, supports a high density of Palearctic migrant waders. Thus, their distribution and abundance has been studied so far between May and October, 1996. In addition, the interrelationship of the birds and macro- and meio-benthos is being studied. In this study we try to identify the macrobenthic and meiobenthic organisms that are available as food for the birds. The largest tidal flat in Mida Creek was selected for this study. It has not been possible to add more stations on other tidal flats (near Sudi and Kirepwe Islands) as intended due to the tight schedule.
