The site was identified as important in 2004 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
Bonelli's Eagle Aquila fasciata	LC	breeding	-	1-2 breeding pairs	B2
Masked Shrike Lanius nubicus	LC	breeding	1996	unknown	A3
Olive-tree Warbler Hippolais olivetorum	LC	breeding	1996	unknown	A3
Subalpine Warbler Curruca cantillans	LC	breeding	1996	unknown	A3
Sardinian Warbler Curruca melanocephala	LC	breeding	1996	abundant	A3

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2004).
