The site was identified as important in 2019 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
Little Tern Sternula albifrons	LC	breeding	2016-2017	50-70 breeding pairs	C6
Common Tern Sterna hirundo	LC	breeding	2016-2017	40-60 breeding pairs	C6
Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis	LC	resident	2013-2019	50-80 breeding pairs	B1b, C6
Collared Sand Martin Riparia riparia	LC	breeding	2008-2013	2,100-2,300 breeding pairs	B1b

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2019) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2019. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Energy production and mining	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
Biological resource use	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
Transportation and service corridors	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Artificial/Terrestrial	Arable land	40
Shrubland	Scrub	22
Wetlands (inland)	Rivers and streams	20
Forest	Alluvial and very wet forest	17
Other		1
