Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2001 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('key species') at the site:| Species | Red List | Season (year/s of estimate) | Size | IBA criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Western Reef-egret Egretta gularis | LC | non-breeding (1988) | 500 individuals | A4i |
| Pied Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta | LC | winter (1988) | 3,000 individuals | A4i |
| Common Redshank Tringa totanus | LC | winter (1988) | 2,052 individuals | A4i |
