IBA Justification

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
Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus	LC	winter	1997-2002	20-60 individuals	C6
Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus	LC	winter	1997-2002	10-45 individuals	C6
