Site details
Rationale for qualifying as KBA: This site qualifies as a Key Biodiversity Area of international significance that was identified using previously established criteria and thresholds for the identification of Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) and for which available data indicate that it does not meet global KBA criteria and thresholds set out in the Global Standard.
Delineation rationale: Delineation corresponds to openland areas (mainly grassland, e.a. extensive meadows and pastures) with hedges and other potential habitats mainly for Shrikes and the Red Kite.
