Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size<\/b>:<\/i><\/b> 2020: 554 – 2037 pairs (2007: 220 – 800 pairs)<\/span><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Dispersed and grouped mainly along the Danube River and in the Danubian Plain. With isolated breeding sites along the Black Sea coast, the Thracian Plain and the Sofia Field. These cases concern probably late migrants, which do not start breeding in the Danubian colonies until the end of June, when the rest of the pairs already have fully fledged juveniles. When water level at the breeding wetlands is too high, it forms small colonies at flooded grasslands of artificial wetlands, leading to changes in the distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020:<\/b> During the period 2013-2020, the species was not found in nine squares, where it was found before 2013. Deterioration of some of the habitats explain their disappearance. In others, was observed sporadically, mainly during high water levels in the Danube River. New habitats have been established in 16 squares.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 554 – 1 907 pairs (<\/span>94-100<\/span>% of the population). The highest numbers have been registered in the <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas \u201cBelene Islands Complex\u201d (197-570 pairs), \u201cKalimok Complex\u201d (100-550 pairs) and \u201cSrebarna\u201d (83-220 pairs).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
