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
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	LC	resident	2001-2002	20-25 breeding pairs	C6
Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria	LC	breeding	2001-2002	60-80 breeding pairs	C6
Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana	LC	breeding	1998-2002	6-18 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.
