|
Weather conditions: |
| The 1989 breeding season was exceptional in terms of its low productivity for wading birds. This was due to the late aind cold spring causing the normal progression of ecological processes to be one month late.

Breeding conditions:
|
| Most waders did not breed, the number of lemmings was extremely low while fox populations were high. In the basins of the Binyuda, Mokoritto, Lyungfada and Yangoda rivers (the lower Pyasina region) the results of wader censusing showed practically no waders. Only single nests were found, most often with an incomplete clutch. The almost complete absence of Bar-tailed Godwits deserves mention.
