IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2000 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 List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	passage	1996	300-500 individuals	B1i, C3
Bean Goose Anser fabalis	LC	passage	1996	3,000-5,000 individuals	A4i, B1i, C3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2000) may differ.

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2010	very unfavourable	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
yes	population	medium

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Greylag Goose Anser anser	300	100	individuals	34	very unfavourable
