The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2010 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
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	300–400 pairs	C6
Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata	NT	breeding (2009)	25–30 pairs	C1
Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa	NT	breeding (2004–2009)	30–50 pairs	C1
European Roller Coracias garrulus	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	14–22 pairs	C1, C6
Woodlark Lullula arborea	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	400–500 pairs	C6

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2011) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	200 / 500 (pairs)	40	poor
Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa	10 / 50 (pairs)	20	very poor

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
