IBA Justification

The site was identified as important 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 List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea	LC	non-breeding	1980	650 individuals	A4i, B1i
Demoiselle Crane Anthropoides virgo	LC	non-breeding	2001	20 individuals	B1i
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	LC	breeding	-	12 breeding pairs	B2
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	LC	non-breeding	2000	187 individuals	B1i

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

IBA Conservation
