Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List | Season (year/s of estimate) | Size | IBA criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus | LC | passage (1992) | 460 birds | B1i, C2 |
| Common Goldeneye Bucephala clangula | LC | passage (1992) | 5,001–10,000 birds | A4i, B1i, C3 |
| Northern Shoveler Spatula clypeata | LC | passage (1992) | 101–500 birds | B1i, C3 |
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.
