The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2002 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
Common Pochard Aythya ferina	VU	breeding (1996–2000)	200–220 pairs	B3
Gadwall Mareca strepera	LC	breeding (1996–2000)	180–200 pairs	B2
Gadwall Mareca strepera	LC	passage (1998–2002)	450–550 birds	C3
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	LC	breeding (1996–2000)	12–15 pairs	B2
Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	3–5 males	C6
Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus	LC	breeding (1998–2002)	25–35 pairs	C6
Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis	LC	resident (1998–2002)	15–25 pairs	B2, C3, C6
River Warbler Locustella fluviatilis	LC	breeding (1996–2000)	120–140 pairs	B3
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	unknown (-)	min 20,000 birds	A4iii, C4

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Gadwall Mareca strepera	58 / 190 (pairs)	31	very poor
Gadwall Mareca strepera	141 / 430 (birds)	33	very poor
Spotted Crake Porzana porzana	4 / 4 (pairs)	100	good
Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris	1 / 3 (pairs)	34	very poor
Ixobrychus minutus	1 / 3 (pairs)	34	very poor
Western Marsh-harrier Circus aeruginosus	25 / 30 (pairs)	84	moderate
