The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2006 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	winter (2003–2005)	5,942–31,010 adults	A4i
Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus	VU	winter (2003–2005)	54–500 adults	A1, A4i
Marbled Duck Marmaronetta angustirostris	NT	passage (2001–2005)	100 birds	A1, A4i
Mallard Anas platyrhynchos	LC	winter (2003–2005)	5,728–15,781 adults	A4i
Demoiselle Crane Anthropoides virgo	LC	passage (2005)	140–1,500 adults	A4i
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	winter (2001–2005)	6,010–22,169 adults	A4i
Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax	NT	winter (2003–2005)	150–2,000 adults	A1
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	winter (2003–2005)	9–2,211 birds	A4i
Eastern Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca	VU	winter (2005)	6 birds	A1

A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	winter (2003–2005)	39,811–68,881 birds	A4iii

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2006. The most recent assessment (2006) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	happe­ning now	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail

Wetlands (inland)	15

Land use	% of IBA
