Weather conditions: |
| The first half of May was comparatively warm and the first waders arrived rather early: Wood Sandpiper was observed on 17 May and Whimbrel on 18 May. However, in the second half of May the weather became cooler, causing a prolonged wader migration. June was cold with freezing temperatures in the middle of the month and snowfalls until 20 June, consequently death of passerine birds from starvation was recorded.
