The Zlivsky pond (vicinity of České Budějovice, South Bohemia, Czech Republic) belonged to the most important breeding places for three species of wading birds. The water level in the pond markedly increased during the flood in August 2002 and the islands were flooded for about 3 weeks. Here we analyse the mechanism that led to disappearance of bird populations. We found that the most likely cause for that was disappearance of almost all the small (less than 4 m in height) black elder (Sambucus nigra) shrubs suitable for breeding of these species.
