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
European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus	LC	breeding (2001–2004)	50–60 pairs	C6
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	LC	breeding (2001–2002)	23–24 pairs	C6
Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus	LC	breeding (2001–2002)	20–25 pairs	C6
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	LC	resident (2001–2002)	60–80 pairs	C6
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	LC	resident (2001–2002)	20–25 pairs	C6
Woodlark Lullula arborea	LC	breeding (2001–2004)	80–100 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 (2013) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus	55 / 55 (pairs)	100	good
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	0 / 18 (pairs)	0	not assessed
Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus	21 / 22 (pairs)	96	good
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	45 / 45 (pairs)	100	good
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	32 / 32 (pairs)	100	good
Woodlark Lullula arborea	135 / 100 (pairs)	100	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Transportation and service corridors	likely in long term (>4 years)	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	Not assessed	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low
