The site was identified as important in 2000 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):Species | Current IUCN Red List Category | Season | Year(s) | Population estimate at site | IBA criteria met |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Broad-billed Sandpiper Calidris falcinellus | LC | breeding | 1990 | 90 breeding pairs | B2 |
Wood Sandpiper Tringa glareola | LC | breeding | 1990 | 501-1,000 breeding pairs | B2 |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2000).
