Data Zone
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knob-billed Duck Sarkidiornis melanotos | LC | non-breeding (1978) | 12,500 birds | A4i |
| Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca | NT | winter (1986) | 350 birds | A1, A4i |
| Garganey Spatula querquedula | LC | winter (1987) | 57,000 birds | A4i |
| Northern Pintail Anas acuta | LC | winter (1987) | 63,000 birds | A4i |
| Great White Egret Ardea alba | LC | non-breeding (1995) | 1,750 birds | A4i |
| Great White Pelican Pelecanus onocrotalus | LC | non-breeding (1978) | 2,000 birds | A4i |
| Collared Pratincole Glareola pratincola | LC | non-breeding (1986) | 9,000 birds | A4i |
| A4iii Species group - waterbirds | n/a | non-breeding (-) | 100,000-499,999 birds | A4iii |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2001. The most recent assessment (2001) is shown below.
