Geographic range:

  • Limosa limosa: breeds in subarctic and temperate wet grassland from Iceland, Faroe and British isles, and Scandinavia southward to southwestern France, east through northwestern Russia, northern Kazakhstan, and northern Mongolia eastward to Chukotskiy Peninsula, Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and Amurland (eastern Russia) and Inner Mongolia (northeastern China); winters coastal and inland temperate to tropical wetlands from southern British Isles, southern Europe, Africa (except southern), Middle East, southern Asia, Ryukyu Islands (southern Japan), Taiwan, southeastern China, Philippines, Indonesian Archipelago, southern New Guinea, and Australia
  • Limosa limosa limosa: Western Palearctic; winters to sub-Saharan Africa and India
  • Limosa limosa islandica: Iceland, Faroe and Shetland islands; winters to southwestern Europe
  • Limosa limosa melanuroides: breeds in disjunct populations in Siberia east of the Yenisei River, in eastern Mongolia, and in northeastern China (populations in northeastern Siberia probably are bohaii); winters from India, Indochina, Taiwan, and Philippines south to Indonesia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Australia, and probably New Zealand
  • Limosa limosa bohaii: breeding range not well established, but probably in northeastern Siberia (Sakha Republic); winter range also incompletely known, but reported from Hong Kong and Vietnam to Thailand and Malaysia
