BIOTIC CONDITIONS

Rodents abundance evaluation:

average

Breeding conditions:

Wader arrival coincided with warming in late May (24 May - appearance of Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper, 25 May - Wood Sandpiper, 27 May -Terek Sandpiper). Among waders migrating in the Ob' floodplain in late August-early September Ruffs were especially numerous. In September there was a lot of voles in the floodplain, which attracted migrating Buzzards.
