• Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
• S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
• NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
• Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
• Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
• Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
• Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

Other Site Characteristics

The area encompasses stretch of the river Drava from Dubrava Križovljanska to Donja Dubrava as well as three hydropower plant storage reservoirs built on this part of the river. Remaining free flow of the river makes system of shingle-bars and islands, oxbow lakes, ponds and gravel pits. This area is important for wintering of waterbirds – it regularly supports more than 20.000 waterbirds (geese, ducks, Coots, etc.). Also, it is important breeding area for the Common Sandpiper that is threatened on national level. This SPA is a part of Regional Park Mura-Drava that includes the whole section of Mura and Drava rivers in Croatia. Regional Park is included in the Croatian-Hungarian part of the planned 5-Country UNESCO Biosphere Reserve "Mura-Drava-Danube", which was officially approved by UNESC'�s Man and Biosphere Committee in Paris in 2011. Lithostratigraphic units represented in this area are Holocene alluvial deposits, alluvial flat. Hydromorphic soil: Mollic, Calcaric Fluvisols - sands.

4.2 Quality and importance

- Information on BD Annex I birds population sizes and National Red List species was provided by the Institute for Ornithology (Zavod za ornitologiju, 2013). Numbers presented refer to estimations or exact data based as much as possible on recent surveys (data provided by the Institute staff and their field-work associates) - Population sizes of non-Annex I regularly occurring migratory waterbirds that represent target features of the SPA area have been estimated only for wintering populations. There is no data available for concentrations – it is to be researched in future. Estimations include numbers from International Waterbird Census for Croatia (2002-2012). The highest counted numbers of each species in the SPA area was taken as Maximum while the Miniumum was estimated, in accordance with Standard Data Form Explanatory Notes. It is hard to evaluate data as all counts were not made on the same day and it is not clear what the coverage of the area was. There should be a survey aimed at registering ‘zer'� numbers for each species as the basis for further monitoring of SPA target features - IWC data suggest that the SPA Dravske akumulacije regularly supports more than 20,000 migratory waterbirds (Max. up to 47,000 i.) - SPA Dravske akumulacije holds 23% of national breeding population of Actitis hypoleucos (National Red List species, highly connected to habitats of river gravel banks and islands) - Species of forests and open habitats are not target features of this SPA, so they have been evaluated as D (non-significant)
