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
Hazel Grouse Tetrastes bonasia	LC	resident	1998-2002	50-60 breeding pairs	C6
Stock Dove Columba oenas	LC	breeding	1996-2000	10-30 breeding pairs	B3
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	1998-2002	100 males	A1, C1
Black Stork Ciconia nigra	LC	breeding	1996-2000	5 breeding pairs	B2
Ring Ouzel Turdus torquatus	LC	breeding	1996-2000	10-20 breeding pairs	B3

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.
