The surveys started

 On July 21 the weather started to clear up, and, accompanied by the gull specialist, Dr. Larisa Zelenskaya  I went around the Staritskogo peninsula. The peninsula is a rocky terrain in-between two bays of the city of Magadan: the Gertnera Bay and the Nagaevo Bay. Traditionally there were 5-6 pairs in the territory. This year there were 6 productive nests totaled 11 chicks: the overall record for this portion of the surveys. All but one nests had 2 chicks.

The view to the nests is summarized in the video.
The map of this day trip based on my tracker is below:
