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
Bean Goose Anser fabalis	LC	passage (2005–2009)	12,000 birds	C3
European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	200–600 pairs	C6
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	breeding (2004–2008)	120–150 pairs	C6
Osprey Pandion haliaetus	LC	breeding (2008–2009)	2 pairs	C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	breeding (2008–2009)	13–15 pairs	C6
Red Kite Milvus milvus	LC	breeding (2008–2009)	18–20 pairs	C1, C6
Black Kite Milvus migrans	LC	breeding (2008–2009)	15–18 pairs	C6
Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	70–85 pairs	C6
Black Woodpecker Dryocopus martius	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	100–500 pairs	C6
Woodlark Lullula arborea	LC	breeding (2004–2009)	2,000–4,000 pairs	C6
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage (2005–2009)	20,000–25,000 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
European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus	600 / 600 (pairs)	100	good
Osprey Pandion haliaetus	1 / 2 (pairs)	50	poor
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	15 / 15 (pairs)	100	good
Red Kite Milvus milvus	20 / 20 (pairs)	100	good
Milvus migrans	16 / 18 (pairs)	89	moderate
Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis	35 / 85 (pairs)	42	poor
Black Woodpecker Dryocopus martius	600 / 800 (pairs)	75	moderate
Woodlark Lullula arborea	2,800 / 4,000 (pairs)	70	moderate
