The site was identified as important in 2011 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
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	1992-1999	270-290 breeding pairs	C6
Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus	NT	breeding	1989-1996	360-470 breeding pairs	B2
Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata	NT	breeding	2002-2011	9-12 breeding pairs	A1, C1
Eurasian Scops-owl Otus scops	LC	breeding	2000-2010	40-65 breeding pairs	B2
Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus	LC	winter	2000-2010	30-50 individuals	C6
Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus	VU	passage	2000-2010	100-200 individuals	A1, C1, C6
Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria	LC	breeding	2004-2010	110-160 breeding pairs	B3, C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2011) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2011. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Corncrake Crex crex	280	126	males	45	unfavourable
Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus	415	105	breeding pairs	26	very unfavourable

Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola	110	7	breeding pairs	7	very unfavourable
Whinchat Saxicola rubetra	2,100	300	breeding pairs	15	very unfavourable

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Grassland	moderate (70-90%)	very poor (< 40%)	very unfavourable
Forest	poor (40-69%)	good (> 90%)	unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Residential and commercial development	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Pollution	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Transportation and service corridors	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium
