IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2002 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
Bean Goose Anser fabalis LC winter 1997-2002 10,000-20,000 individuals C3
A4iii Species group - waterbirds n/a winter 1997 20,000 individuals C4
