Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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-headed Duck Oxyura leucocephala | EN | breeding (-) | 3–4 pairs | A1, B2 |
| Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina | LC | winter (1993) | 673 birds | B1i |
| Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca | NT | passage (-) | 74–200 birds | A1 |
| Eurasian Coot Fulica atra | LC | passage (1994) | 25,000–70,100 birds | A4i, B1i |
| Common Crane Grus grus | LC | winter (2001) | 12 birds | B1i |
| Squacco Heron Ardeola ralloides | LC | breeding (-) | 40 pairs | B2 |
| Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni | LC | passage (-) | 300 birds | A1, B1iii |
| A4iii Species group - waterbirds | n/a | passage (-) | 20,183–78,590 birds | A4iii |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2016 | moderate | high | medium |
