Box 358, DK-4000 RoskildeDenmarkJEROEN RENEERKENSAnimal Ecology Group, Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary StudiesUniversity of GroningenPO Box 14, 9750 AA HarenThe NetherlandsAbstract. During the breeding season of 2008, bird populations were monitored in a 15.8km 2 area designated at Zackenberg Research Station in central Northeast Greenland. Resultsare presented and compared with those of previous seasons (1995-2007).The breeding bird census revealed relatively high numbers of Sanderling (Calidris alba)and Dunlin (Calidris alpine) territories, whereas territories of Ruddy Turnstone (Arenariainterpres) were found in average numbers. However, only a few Ruddy Turnstones seemedto nest. The number of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) territories was around the average of theprevious seasons. Despite the relatively late snow-melt, wader nest initiation in 2008 wasaverage or a little later, and median first egg dates were also average in all four species.Wader nest success, however, was extremely low, and most nests suffered predation. LongtailedSkua (Stercorarius longicaudus) territories were found in near-average numbers, andwith an average median nest initiation date, but with a nest success well below average.Average numbers of Barnacle Goose (Branta leucopsis) broods were observed, and with arelatively high mean brood size early in the season and low late in the season.Key words: Monitoring, Arctic, waders, geese, Long-tailed Skua, Rock Ptarmigan, Snow Bunting,climate.<strong>BIRD</strong> MONITORING AT ZACKENBERG, NORTHEAST GREENLAND, 2008,WITH COMPARISON TO 1995-2007Abstract.
