Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) \u2013 <\/i><\/b>Near threatened<\/span><\/p>\n Population size<\/b>: <\/i><\/b>2020: 39 -94 pairs (2007: 30-50 pairs)<\/span><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n The breeding sites are in four isolated areas: on islands in the middle and lower currents of the Maritsa River, in the Burgas Wetlands, in the Varna \u2013 Beloslav Lake Complex, and the Tzibar Island on the Danube River.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020:<\/b> The number of breeding pairs varies through the years. Breeds on sandy and gravel river islands along the Maritsa and Danube Rivers. The fluctuations in the number of breeding pairs are due to flooding of the islands at high waters. Along the Black Sea coast the species breeds in saline terrains with halophytic vegetation, on dikes in saltpans.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000<\/b>: 24-51 pairs<\/span> (56%<\/span> of the population). The highest numbers have been registered in the SPAs Pomorie Lake (5-6 pairs), Bakarlaka (3-4 pairs), and Maritsa-Parvomay (2-8 pairs).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.11″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
