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
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	passage	2009	3,500 individuals	C2
Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa	NT	breeding	2005	10 breeding pairs	C1
Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola	VU	breeding	2007-2009	169-182 males	C1, C6

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2010).
