BIOTIC
CONDITIONS
|
| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low
|
|
|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Numbers of waders migrating along Karskoe sea coast appeared lower compared with the previous year, and there were definetely fewer Heuglini Gulls on the sea coast in August compared with 2002. Thus, breeding success was, probably, low. Also, ca. 50 nests of Heuglini Gulls produced only ca. 10 nestlings in the colony on the sea coast near Mys Rok, but it is possible that native people collected most of eggs. Weather conditions were excellent.
