IBA Justification

The site was identified as important 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 List1 Season Year(s) Size IBA criteria
Common Crane Grus grus LC passage 2008 3,000 individuals C2
Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata NT passage 2004-2009 181 males C1
