CONDITIONS

| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low

|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Breeding density of buzzards was low, and only a single brood remained through all the period of observations. Snowy owls, Long-tailed and Arctic skuas were present, but didn't breed. Very few Arctic Foxes, no lemmings at all. High density had Ringed Plover and Temmink's Stint, average - Little Stint and Dotterel, low density - Golden Plover, Turnstone, Dunlin, Red-necked Phalarope. Judging by brood records success of reproduction was average for most waders.
