| Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina | LC | winter | 1993 | 673 individuals | B1i |
| Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca | NT | passage | - | 74-200 individuals | A1 |
| Common Coot Fulica atra | LC | passage | 1994 | 25,000-70,100 individuals | A4i, B1i |
| Common Crane Grus grus | LC | winter | 2001 | 12 individuals | B1i |
| Squacco Heron Ardeola ralloides | LC | breeding | - | 40 breeding pairs | B2 |
| Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni | LC | passage | - | 300 individuals | A1, B1iii |
