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 IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('key species') at the site:

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	LC	resident (2001)	50–80 breeding pairs	C6
Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis	LC	breeding (2001)	450–700 breeding 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 (2010) is shown below.

State (condition of the key species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	85 / 50 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable
Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis	650 / 450 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable

Pressure (threats to the key species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
No known threats	happen­ing now	few individ­uals/small area (<10%)	no deteri­oration (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the key species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A compre­hensive and appropriate manage­ment plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the popul­ations of qualify­ing bird species	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	medium
