Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2007 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 (1990–2006) | 22–26 pairs | C1 |
| Corncrake Crex crex | LC | breeding (1990–2006) | 25–30 pairs | C1 |
| Little Crake Zapornia parva | LC | breeding (1990–2006) | 30 pairs | C6 |
| Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa | NT | passage (1990–2006) | 60 birds | C1 |
| Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus | LC | breeding (1990–2006) | 2–4 pairs | C6 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2016 | good | medium | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| no | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Artificial/Terrestrial | good (>90%) | good (>90%) | good |
| Forest | good (>90%) | good (>90%) | good |
| Wetlands (inland) | good (>90%) | good (>90%) | good |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Biological resource use | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
| Habitat | % of IBA | Habitat detail |
|---|---|---|
| Forest | 46 | Broadleaved deciduous woodland |
| Artificial/Terrestrial | 34 | Arable land |
| Wetlands (inland) | 20 | Standing freshwater; Water fringe vegetation |
