The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2001 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	passage (1999)	2,500 birds	B1i
Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis	LC	passage (1999)	2,500 birds	A4i, B1i
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	passage (1999)	500 birds	B1i
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	non-breeding (1999)	2,500 birds	B1i
European Bee-eater Merops apiaster	LC	breeding (1999)	300 pairs	B2
European Bee-eater Merops apiaster	LC	passage (1999)	2,000 birds	B2
Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus	VU	passage (1999)	250 birds	B2
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage (1999)	min 20,000 birds	A4iii

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2001. The most recent assessment (2017) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Great Crested Grebe Podiceps cristatus	650 / 1,000 (birds)	65	poor
Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis	60 / 2,500 (birds)	3	very poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	likely in short term (<4 years)	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (<4 years)	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
