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).
