Breeding conditions:

In the Pyasina delta lemming situation was reasonably well which is evidenced by good reproduction of Herring Gulls in colonies (large colonies, full clutches) near the Shakhta Severnaya settlement. In the same area and/or in the Pyasina delta, on islands one could see active nesting by Red-breasted Goose Rufibrenta ruficollis, Brant Brenta bernicla, and White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons, i.e. the general situation was much better than in the Pura basin.
