Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size: <\/i><\/b>2020: 110-206 pairs (2007: 30-50 pairs<\/span>)<\/b><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Predominantly along the Black Sea coast, mainly around the Burgas bay, where breeding sites are most clearly grouped in neighbouring squares. Breeds also in the Varna-Beloslav Lake Complex, in the wetlands along the Northern Black Sea coast and near Sozopol. Rarely in small inland wetlands and along the coast of the Danube River, where the species has probably bred successfully in some years. The highest concentration is found in the Burgas wetlands. In many of the squares with breeding sites, non-breeding specimens, pairs and small flocks remain throughout the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020:<\/b> In the period, 2013-2020 the species was established in 20 squares 10x10km. No visible change in the distribution of the species in the country has been registered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 95-176 pairs (85-86% of the population).<\/span><\/p>\n All important and regular breeding habitats of the species are found on the territory of the Natura 2000 network. The highest numbers have been registered in the <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas \u201cAtanasovsko Lake\u201d (25-40 pairs), \u201cMandra-Poda Complex\u201d (27-39 pairs), \u201cPomorie Lake\u201d (12-25 pairs), and\u00a0 \u201cBurgas Lake\u201d (10-21 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”]
