BIOTIC CONDITIONS

Rodents abundance evaluation:

low

Breeding conditions:

In spite of the late and relatively cold spring 1995 breeding conditions for birds were as usially favourable: no ice at the sea, no predators and disturbance due to the nature reserve regime. Spring migration of waders occured later than usial and was fast - in 3-5 days. Scarce waders bred relatively late; loss of nests and broods was not recorded. Summer-autumn migration delayed for a period from week to month, and was average in numbers.
