Weather conditions: |

The middle of June was cold with northern and north-eastern winds. Late summer was in general moderately dry and warm, with few cold spells.

|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Single pairs of Long-tailed Skuas and Hen Harriers Circus cyaneus bred. In the tundra, Whimbrel and Bar-tailed Godwit bred in high numbers. Wood Sandpiper and Golden Plover were common, Ruff and Red-necked Phalarope were not numerous, and single pairs of Greenshank and Ringed Plover were recorded. In general, abundance of waders was estimated to be below average. Judging by observations of Whimbrel, Bar-tailed Godwits and Reeves which alarmed late in July in those areas where spring observations are usually made, their breeding was successful.
