Breeding conditions:
|
| The majority of waders arrived in the last ten days of May. Only Little Stint and Temminck's Stint appeared later, on 3 June and 6 June respectively. Only three wader species, i.e. Wood Sandpiper, Ruff and Terek Sandpiper Xenus cinereus, commonly bred. The number of Whimbrel in tundra areas was also comparatively large (0.5-1.0 pairs/km2). Breeding conditions for waders were considered favourable.
