The site was identified as important in 2010 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
Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus	LC	winter	2004-2009	700-900 individuals	C2
Bean Goose Anser fabalis	LC	passage	2004-2009	3,000-25,000 individuals	C3
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	2007-2009	110-120 males	C1
