Data Zone
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca | NT | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula | LC | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Northern Shoveler Spatula clypeata | LC | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Gadwall Mareca strepera | LC | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Mallard Anas platyrhynchos | LC | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Northern Pintail Anas acuta | LC | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Common Teal Anas crecca | LC | non-breeding (2004) | present | A4i |
| Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus | NT | winter (2004) | present | A1 |
| A4iii Species group - waterbirds | n/a | unknown (2004) | min 20,000 birds | A4iii |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2003) is shown below.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | high |
| Biological resource use | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | likely in long term (>4 years) | few individuals/small area (<10%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | low |
