Breeding conditions:
|
| Arctic Foxes bred successfully. There were no owls recorded. Compared with 1993, a slight increase was recorded in Rough-legged Buzzard, whose clutches contained an average of five eggs. Numbers of skuas and Herring Gulls remained similar to 1993. Numbers of Willow Ptarmigan slightly increased, while those of waterfowl slightly decreased. Temminck's Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Dunlin and Golden Plover were recorded three to seven times less often than in 1993. Other wader species either remained at the same level or decreased only slightly; the only exception was Golden Plover which was recorded very much more often. Curlew Sandpipers were observed for the first time in this area.
