IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2001 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
Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris	LC	breeding	1999	20 breeding pairs	B2
White-winged Tern Chlidonias leucopterus	LC	breeding	1999	3,000 breeding pairs	A4i, B1i
Black Tern Chlidonias niger	LC	breeding	1999	100 breeding pairs	B2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2001) may differ.
