Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size<\/b>:<\/i><\/b> 2020: 100 – 442 pairs (2007: 100 – 220 pairs)<\/span><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Grouped mainly along the Black Sea coast (the Burgas wetlands). With unclear status on the Northern Black Sea coast \u2013 in the area of Shabla and Durankulak lakes and on the Danube River (mainly in the area of the Belene Island). Isolated breeding site near the Tsibar marsh.<\/span><\/p>\n During the period 2013-2020, the species was established in 22 ETRC 10×10 km. Significant increase in the area of the habitat of the species was registered along the Danube River. In the studied period, the localities around Shabla and Durankulak lakes have not been confirmed, but the species could still be breeding there periodically.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020: <\/b>The number of species in the country varies greatly annually. Very often in different years, the species move to different squares looking for the best breeding conditions. Stable increase was noted in the Burgas lakes and especially along the Danube River. The lower waters of the Danube River, which is becoming a tendency, visibly has a positive effect on the species, creating many suitable for breeding sand islands.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 100-220 pairs 49.77-100% of the population. All significant and regular breeding sites of the species are located on the territory of the Natura 2000 network. The largest number of breeding habitats outside the Natura 2000 network are found along the Danube River. The highest numbers have been registered in the <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas: \u201cPomorie Lake\u201d (40-210 pairs), \u201cAtanasovsko Lake\u201d (10-75 pairs), and \u201cBelene Islands Complex\u201d (0-70 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”]
