Current view: Data table and detailed info

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
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	2007-2009	97-100 males	C1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2010	not assessed	very high	negligible
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	unset	medium

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Pollution	likely in short term (within 4 years)	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	likely in short term (within 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
No known threats	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
