Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2011 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corncrake Crex crex | LC | breeding (1992–1999) | 270–290 pairs | C6 |
| Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus | NT | breeding (1989–1996) | 360–470 pairs | B2 |
| Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata | NT | breeding (2002–2011) | 9–12 pairs | A1, C1 |
| Eurasian Scops-owl Otus scops | LC | breeding (2000–2010) | 40–65 pairs | B2 |
| Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus | LC | winter (2000–2010) | 30–50 birds | C6 |
| Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus | VU | passage (2000–2010) | 100–200 birds | A1, C1, C6 |
| Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria | LC | breeding (2004–2010) | 110–160 pairs | B3, C6 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2011. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.
