Kattasay and Daganasay Reservoirs


IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2007 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
Solitary Snipe Gallinago solitaria LC breeding 2000-2006 2-4 breeding pairs A3
European Roller Coracias garrulus LC breeding 2000-2006 50-60 breeding pairs A1
Saker Falcon Falco cherrug EN breeding 2000-2006 1-2 breeding pairs A1
Hume's Lark Calandrella acutirostris LC breeding 2000-2006 20-30 breeding pairs A3
Sulphur-bellied Warbler Phylloscopus griseolus LC breeding 2000-2006 7-8 breeding pairs A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria LC resident 2000-2006 5-6 breeding pairs A3
Brown Accentor Prunella fulvescens LC breeding 2000-2006 8-10 breeding pairs A3
Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta LC breeding 2000-2006 10-15 breeding pairs A3
White-winged Grosbeak Mycerobas carnipes LC resident 2000-2006 5-10 breeding pairs A3
Red-mantled Rosefinch Carpodacus rhodochlamys LC resident 2000-2006 15-20 breeding pairs A3
Eurasian Crimson-winged Finch Rhodopechys sanguineus LC resident 2000-2006 20-30 breeding pairs A3
Red-fronted Serin Serinus pusillus LC breeding 2000-2006 10-15 breeding pairs A3

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2007).
