Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2002 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus | LC | resident (2001–2002) | 20–25 pairs | C6 |
| Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria | LC | breeding (2001–2002) | 60–80 pairs | C6 |
| Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana | LC | breeding (1998–2002) | 6–18 pairs | C6 |
