The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons	LC	passage	2007	11,000 individuals	C3
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	2007	151 males	C1
Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata	NT	breeding	2003	19 breeding pairs	C1
Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa	NT	breeding	2003-2009	9-14 breeding pairs	C1
Bluethroat Luscinia svecica	LC	breeding	2003	74-76 breeding pairs	C6
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage	2003-2007	23,000-25,000 individuals	C4

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	medium
