As a result of the analysis of the composition and abundance of colonial species Larus cachinnans, L. ichthyaetus, L. melanocephalus, L. genei, Gelochelidon nilotica, Hydroprogne caspia, Thalasseus sandvicensis, Sterna albifrons, S. hirundo, Phalacrocorax carbo and Pelecanus onocrotalus, included in the estuary-island faunal grouping in the Plain Crimea, the features of their distribution on gradients of factors-conditions and factors-resources are determined. The dynamics of their ecological ni
