Wader populations have been declining globally due to widespread anthropogenic habitat degradation and loss. In this context, food quality and availability at migration stop-over sites is crucial for wader migration success.We studied the diet composition and preferences of the Grey plover () at a stop-over site on the Black Sea-Mediterranean Flyway - Pomorie Lake, SW Black Sea coast, Bulgaria - through DNA metabarcoding of faeces. The study aimed to determine the bird's feeding strategy, coastal habitat use and possible seasonal variations as a result of local prey availability.
The dataset includes new data on Grey plover () prey items on the south-western Black Sea coast, Bulgaria. The diet composition data provides valuable insights on coastal biodiversity in the area as "sampled" by this generalist invertivore and contributes to the knowledge of Grey plover prey choice and habitat use in a little-studied microtidal marine region.
由于广泛的人为栖息地退化和丧失，全球涉禽数量一直在下降。在这种情况下，迁徙中途停歇地的食物质量和可获得性对于涉禽迁徙成功至关重要。我们通过粪便的DNA宏条形码分析，研究了黑海-地中海迁徙路线上一个中途停歇地——保加利亚黑海西南海岸的波莫瑞湖——灰斑鸻（）的饮食组成和偏好。该研究旨在确定这种鸟类的觅食策略、沿海栖息地利用情况以及由于当地猎物可获得性导致的可能的季节性变化。
该数据集包含保加利亚黑海西南海岸灰斑鸻（）猎物项目的新数据。饮食组成数据为该泛食性无脊椎动物“采样”的该地区沿海生物多样性提供了有价值的见解，并有助于了解灰斑鸻在一个研究较少的微潮海洋区域的猎物选择和栖息地利用情况。
