The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Hazel Grouse Tetrastes bonasia	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	50–100 pairs	C6
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	50–80 males	A1, C1
Eurasian Pygmy-owl Glaucidium passerinum	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	30–50 pairs	C6
Three-toed Woodpecker Picoides tridactylus	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	10–20 pairs	C6
Woodlark Lullula arborea	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	15–20 pairs	C6

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.
