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
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	2005-2009	32-70 males	C1
Osprey Pandion haliaetus	LC	breeding	2005-2009	2 breeding pairs	C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	breeding	2005-2009	14-19 breeding pairs	C6
Red Kite Milvus milvus	LC	breeding	2008-2009	7-14 breeding pairs	C1
Bluethroat Luscinia svecica	LC	breeding	2001-2009	8-39 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 (2008) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low
