Breeding conditions:
|
Vole numbers were high and Rough-legged Buzzards and Short-eared Owls nested in the area.
Apparently because of the snowstorm in June many clutches of waders were deserted (after the snow melted, abandoned incomplete Temminck's Stint and Pacific Golden-Plover clutches with some cracked eggs were found). Subsequent wader nesting in the area was successful.
