The site was identified as important in 2010 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
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	passage	2004-2009	2,000-3,000 individuals	C2
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	breeding	2004-2009	140-190 breeding pairs	C6
Black Stork Ciconia nigra	LC	breeding	2004-2009	12-16 breeding pairs	C6
Eurasian Eagle-owl Bubo bubo	LC	breeding	2004-2009	9-14 breeding pairs	C6

Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus	LC	breeding	2004-2009	50-65 breeding pairs	C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	breeding	2004-2009	21-25 breeding pairs	C6
Red Kite Milvus milvus	LC	breeding	2004-2009	10-15 breeding pairs	C1, C6

Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva	LC	breeding	2004-2009	150-300 breeding pairs	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.

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

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	-	moderate (70-90%)	near favourable
Wetlands (inland)	-	good (> 90%)	favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Biological resource use	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Energy production and mining	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Residential and commercial development	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	medium
Transportation and service corridors	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Pollution	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Climate change and severe weather	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
No known threats	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	No management planning has taken place	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low
