Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2003 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:Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2003. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

| 2010 | very poor | medium | high |

| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Forest | very poor (<40%) | very poor (<40%) | very poor |
| Wetlands (inland) | very poor (<40%) | very poor (<40%) | very poor |
| Artificial/Terrestrial | moderate (70–90%) | moderate (70–90%) | poor |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Natural system modifications | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | low |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting | most of population/area (50–90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | low |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
