Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2014 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis | VU | winter (2011) | 500 birds | A1 |
| Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca | VU | winter (2008) | 265 birds | A1, B2 |
| Horned Grebe Podiceps auritus | VU | winter (2004–2013) | 100–150 birds | B1i, B2 |
| Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata | NT | breeding (2013) | 10 pairs | A1 |
| Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus | LC | breeding (2013) | 2,237 pairs | B1i, B3 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2014. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.
