Breeding conditions:
|
| Compared to the previous year, densities of Ruff, Red-necked Phalarope and Ringed Plover were high, but in contrast, densities of Dunlin, Little Stint, Common Snipe, Pintail Snipe and Jack Snipe were lower. Generally, the breeding success of waders was normal or a little higher than normal. Wader losses due to weather or predation appeared to be minimal.
