WEATHER
CONDITIONS

|
|
|
Weather conditions: |
| Water table in the bay increased to a very high level on 26 June due to strong wind and, probably, also to spring tide. Lowlands in the river vicinity were flooded, which resulted in perishing of many nests of Bewick's Swan, White-fronted Goose, King Eider, Willow Ptarmigan, Dunlin, Temmink's Stint.
