Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2019 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Tern Sternula albifrons | LC | breeding (2016–2017) | 50–70 pairs | C6 |
| Common Tern Sterna hirundo | LC | breeding (2016–2017) | 40–60 pairs | C6 |
| Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis | LC | resident (2013–2019) | 50–80 pairs | B1b, C6 |
| Collared Sand Martin Riparia riparia | LC | breeding (2008–2013) | 2,100–2,300 pairs | B1b |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2019. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2016 | not assessed | very high | very low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | unset | unknown | |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Biological resource use | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Energy production and mining | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Transportation and service corridors | likely in short term (<4 years) | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Little/none of area covered (<10%) | No management planning has taken place | Very little or no conservation action taking place | very low |
