Breeding conditions:
|
| We conducted intensive studies of the Temminck's Stint, and found 35 nests. Hatching success was quite good (80-90% success). Many chicks died in the eggs within 24 hours of hatching, for no apparent reason. Few avian and no mammalian predators were present. Small mammals were not seen, and no evidence of their presence was found.
