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') at the site:

Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Hazel Grouse Tetrastes bonasia	LC	breeding	1998-2002	50-100 breeding pairs	C6
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	1998-2002	50-80 males	A1, C1
