Breeding conditions:
|
| Pomarine Skuas, which were common in June, had already disappeared by July. Long-tailed Skuas were observed on passage. Single pairs of Arctic Skuas bred. On 23 June clutches of Dotterel and Ringed Plover were well incubated. By 8-10 July chicks of Common Snipe had hatched, and judging by their behaviour, so had those of other waders.
