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 ('triggering') IBA criteria.

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

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus	LC	winter (1997–2002)	20–60 birds	C6
Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus	LC	winter (1997–2002)	10–45 birds	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 (2013) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus	0 / 26 (birds)	0	very poor
Circus cyaneus	0 / 28 (birds)	0	very poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happe­ning now	whole of popul­ation/area (>90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	very high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Most of area (50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	Not assessed	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Artificial/Terrestrial	88	Arable land
Grassland	10
Forest	1
Wetlands (inland)	1

Land use	% of IBA
agriculture	major (>10)
hunting	major (>10)
