IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2008 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Species Red List1 Season Year(s) Size IBA criteria
Semi-collared Flycatcher Ficedula semitorquata LC breeding 2000-2006 30-50 breeding pairs A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2008) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2007 unfavourable medium negligible
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
no habitat medium

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat Quantity (% remaining) Quality (% carrying capacity) Result
Forest good (> 90%) poor (40-69%) unfavourable
Grassland good (> 90%) poor (40-69%) unfavourable
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks) good (> 90%) moderate (70-90%) near favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Human intrusions and disturbance likely in short term (within 4 years) some of area/population (10-49%) moderate to rapid deterioration medium
Biological resource use happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Natural system modifications happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) moderate to rapid deterioration low
Agricultural expansion and intensification happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas Management plan Other action Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%) No management planning has taken place Very little or no conservation action taking place negligible
