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
European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus	LC	breeding	2000-2002	40-55 breeding pairs	C6
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	breeding	2000-2002	6-7 breeding pairs	C6
Woodlark Lullula arborea	LC	breeding	2001-2002	20-30 breeding pairs	C6
Bluethroat Luscinia svecica	LC	breeding	2000-2002	15-22 breeding pairs	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2002) may differ.

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.
