Weather conditions: |
| Active snow-melting started early, i.e. in the middle of April, and the snow melted completely in open areas. At the end of April cold weather returned and spring was in general cold and long. Lake ice melted at the end of May, and snow remained inland in hollows until mid-June. The weather in June remained cold with prolonged storms and much precipitation; in contrast, July was dry and warm.

Breeding conditions:
|
| Broods of waders fledged successfully and the overall reproductive success on the island was high. Autumn migration of Dunlin Calidris alpina occurred later, but was highly synchronous; with usual numbers of migrating birds. Other wader species were scarce on migration, some of them occurring only as individuals.
