Data Zone
The site was identified as important in 2008 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax | NT | passage | 2006 | 100 individuals | A1 |
| Sociable Lapwing Vanellus gregarius | CR | passage | 2006 | 16 individuals | A1 |
| Black-winged Pratincole Glareola nordmanni | NT | passage | 2006 | 100-400 individuals | A1 |
| Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni | LC | passage | 2003-2007 | 50-300 individuals | A1 |
| Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni | LC | breeding | 2006-2007 | 10-12 breeding pairs | A1 |
| A4iv Species group - soaring birds/cranes | n/a | - | 2003-2006 | 3,000-10,000 individuals | B1iv |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2008).
