|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hazel Grouse Tetrastes bonasia | LC | resident (1998–2002) | 50–60 pairs | C6 |
| Stock Dove Columba oenas | LC | breeding (1996–2000) | 10–30 pairs | B3 |
| Corncrake Crex crex | LC | breeding (1998–2002) | 100 males | A1, C1 |
| Black Stork Ciconia nigra | LC | breeding (1996–2000) | 5 pairs | B2 |
