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
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	100–300 males	C1, C6
Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa	NT	breeding (2009)	90 pairs	C1
Black Tern Chlidonias niger	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	22–50 pairs	C6
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	15 pairs	C6
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage (2004–2009)	20,000 birds	C4

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
Corncrake Crex crex	100 / 100 (males)	100	good

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