IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2011 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
European Roller Coracias garrulus	LC	breeding	1993-2002	3-7 breeding pairs	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2011) may differ.

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2011. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.
