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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Common Eider Somateria mollissima | NT | non-breeding | 1996 | 1,950 individuals | B1i |
Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea | LC | breeding | 1996 | 11 breeding pairs | B2 |
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo | LC | non-breeding | 1996 | 2,380-3,480 individuals | B1i |
Pallas's Gull Larus ichthyaetus | LC | breeding | 1996 | 2,090-2,290 breeding pairs | A4i, B1i |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2000).
