|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Long-tailed Skuas and Rough-legged Buzzards bred in single pairs, the latter had minimal clutch size. Territorial pairs were recorded in Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus and Gyrfalcon F. rusticollis, while Snowy Owls were observed only on migration. Arctic Foxes probably did not breed as only one empty den was found and no animals were recorded. Waders, however, probably bred rather successfully.
|
|
|
Rodent dynamics:
|
| No signs of lemmings were observed in June and only one animal was caught in late August. Root Voles were numerous - vole index was 3.0.
