Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2010 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common Crane Grus grus | LC | passage (2004–2009) | 2,000–3,000 birds | C2 |
| Common Crane Grus grus | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 140–190 pairs | C6 |
| Black Stork Ciconia nigra | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 12–16 pairs | C6 |
| Eurasian Eagle-owl Bubo bubo | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 9–14 pairs | C6 |
| Osprey Pandion haliaetus | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 7–10 pairs | C6 |

| Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 50–65 pairs | C6 |
| White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 21–25 pairs | C6 |
| Red Kite Milvus milvus | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 10–15 pairs | C1, C6 |

| Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva | LC | breeding (2004–2009) | 150–300 pairs | C6 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.
