The site was identified as important in 2000 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):

Species	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s)	Population estimate at site	IBA criteria met
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	breeding	1996	11-50 breeding pairs	B2, C6
Whimbrel Numenius phaeopus	LC	breeding	1996	51-100 breeding pairs	B3
