Breeding conditions:
|
| Rough-legged Buzzard, Peregrine, Long-tailed Skua, Arctic Skua and Snowy Owl bred successfully. Terek Sandpiper and Temminck's Stint were numerous on breeding sites close to rivers, Red-necked Phalarope was numerous in more wet tundra habitats; Golden Plover, Ringed Plover, Wood Sandpiper, Ruff, Common Snipe and Pintail Snipe were common. Grey Plover, Spotted Redshank, Whimbrel and Bar-tailed Godwit occurred rarely. Generally the breeding success of waders was high.
