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
Broad-billed Sandpiper Calidris falcinellus	LC	breeding	1990	90 breeding pairs	B2
Wood Sandpiper Tringa glareola	LC	breeding	1990	501-1,000 breeding pairs	B2

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2000).
