Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2010 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 (2009) | 130 males | C1 |
| Black Stork Ciconia nigra | LC | breeding (2008–2009) | 13–14 pairs | C6 |
| Ural Owl Strix uralensis | LC | breeding (2003–2009) | 15 pairs | C6 |
| European Honey-buzzard Pernis apivorus | LC | breeding (2006–2009) | 130–150 pairs | C6 |
| Lesser Spotted Eagle Clanga pomarina | LC | breeding (2006–2009) | 22–23 pairs | C6 |
| Black Woodpecker Dryocopus martius | LC | breeding (2005–2009) | 250–400 pairs | C6 |
| White-backed Woodpecker Dendrocopos leucotos | LC | breeding (2005–2009) | 30–35 pairs | C6 |
| Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria | LC | breeding (2008–2009) | 100–200 pairs | C6 |
| Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis | LC | breeding (2006–2009) | 1,000–1,200 pairs | C6 |
| Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva | LC | breeding (2006–2009) | 600 pairs | C6 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2009) is shown below.
