Breeding conditions:
|
| In a former watch tower a pair of Rough-legged Buzzards had nest. I heard the chicks calling but was not able to see how many chicks there were. A Peregrine Falcons nested in the sea cliffs to the south of the Nenets village. Red-throated Pipit was very common, and I found several Redwings flying between the buildings. Also a pair of Pied Wagtails with a few already fledged chicks was breeding in a collapsed building. A pair of Red-throated Divers were breeding on a pond and had two chicks about 3-4 weeks old. A Golden Plover alarmed and most likely they had chicks nearby.
