Observations were carried out on 26 June at a transect 13.2 km across mountain tundra in the coastal belt of the Barents Sea. We found nests of Rough-legged Buzzard, Rock Ptarmigan, Redwing, Common Redstart, while Meadow Pipit, Willow Warbler, Wheather, Bluethroat, Brambling and Redpol were probable breeders judging by their behaviour.
Other birds recorded included Bean Goose, Whooper Swan, Common Merganser, White-tailed Sea Eagle, Red-necked Phalarope, Herring Gull, Common Cockoo and Pied Flycatcher. Density of Rock Ptarmigans was 0.6 birds/km.
