| From our investigation area for reintroduced Lesser White-fronted Geese I can tell that the lemmings crashed during late winter-early spring 2002. We saw more Red Foxes and Minks than usual and my impression is that birds suffered under a high predation pressure. However we left our investigation area already in early July before most ducks and waders had hatched. Our Lesser White-fronted Geese had a good season (8 fledged broods observed on staging localities), but brood size was around the average (small material).
