Breeding conditions:
|
| The majority of waders arrived early (23-27 May) and simultaneously. In the beginning of June nests of Terek Sandpipers and Ringed Plovers on the islands of Omolon were destroyed by floods, and they started second clutches only after 17 June. Wood Sandpiper Tringa glareola and Little Curlew Numenius minutus already had complete clutches by 15 June. In summer comparatively large numbers (in relation to previous years) of Common Sandpiper Actitis hypoleucos were recorded. In montaine tundras complete clutches of Dotterel and Great Knot Calidris tenuirostris were found in mid-June. Most waders bred successfully.
