CONDITIONS

| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
low

|
Breeding conditions:
|
| No Arctic Foxes were seen. Rather few Long-tailed Skuas were encountered and waders were somewhat uncommon too. An average breeding density was found in Ringed Plovers, Wood Sandpipers, Ruff, snipes. Numbers of Grey and European Golden-Plovers, Red-necked Phalaropes, Temminck's Stints, Terek Sandpipers and Whimbrels were low. Flocks of Whimbrels and Bar-tailed Godwits were noted on 11-12 July. The wader breeding success was apparently below average.
