Current view: Data table and detailed info

IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris	LC	breeding (1999)	20 pairs	B2
White-winged Tern Chlidonias leucopterus	LC	breeding (1999)	3,000 pairs	A4i, B1i
Black Tern Chlidonias niger	LC	breeding (1999)	100 pairs	B2

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2001. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2016	very poor	high	not assessed
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
yes	population	good

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris	5 / 20 (pairs)	25	very poor
White-winged Tern Chlidonias leucopterus	0 / 3,000 (pairs)	0	very poor
Black Tern Chlidonias niger	0 / 100 (pairs)	0	very poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Climate change and severe weather	happening now	whole of population/area (>90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	most of population/area (50–90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
