Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2019 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus | NT | passage (2016) | 230 birds | B1a |
| Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata | NT | passage (2016) | 37 birds | B1a |
| A4iii Species group - waterbirds | n/a | winter (2011–2017) | 26,900–73,096 birds | B3b |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2019. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.
