Budary lakes


IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2008 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:
Species Red List Season (year/s of estimate) Size IBA criteria
Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca NT breeding (1981–1997) 50–100 pairs A1
Demoiselle Crane Anthropoides virgo LC breeding (2006) 4 pairs A3
Common Crane Grus grus LC passage (1981–1997) 2,000–3,000 birds A4i, B1i
Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax NT breeding (2006) 4 pairs A3
Black-winged Pratincole Glareola nordmanni NT breeding (2006) 7 pairs A3

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2006) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2006 moderate medium very low
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
no habitat poor

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat Quantity (% remaining) Quality (% carrying capacity) Result
Wetlands (inland) good (>90%) moderate (70–90%) moderate

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Natural system modifications happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Biological resource use happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Human intrusions and disturbance happe­ning now few indivi­duals/small area (<10%) no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations) low
Agricultural expansion and intensification happe­ning now few indivi­duals/small area (<10%) no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations) low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
