The site was identified as important in 2002 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
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	LC	resident	2001-2002	20-25 breeding pairs	C6
Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria	LC	breeding	2001-2002	60-80 breeding pairs	C6
Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana	LC	breeding	1998-2002	6-18 breeding pairs	C6

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2002).
