Note)
1. Bold figures: maximum population in each migration period
2. Underlined figures: not less than 1% level of MPE
3. Dreged soil was instilled into nearby reclaimed land (Yumeshima landfill, distance from the Bird Sanctuary: 500 m) from autumn of 2001.
Consequently, a large flock of kentish plover, dunlin and red-necked stint
began to utilize for feeding, and the number of these shorebirds in Osaka Nankou Bird Sanctuary was decreased. (Yumeshima landfill, 390ha)
