IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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
Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea	LC	non-breeding (1980)	650 birds	A4i, B1i
Demoiselle Crane Anthropoides virgo	LC	non-breeding (2001)	20 birds	B1i
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	LC	breeding (-)	12 pairs	B2
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	LC	non-breeding (2000)	187 birds	B1i

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2016	good	low	low
