The site was identified as important in 2000 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
Mute Swan Cygnus olor	LC	winter	1991	8,675 individuals	A4i, B1i, C3
Common Goldeneye Bucephala clangula	LC	non-breeding	1991	3,430 individuals	B1i, C3
Eurasian Wigeon Mareca penelope	LC	passage	1996	36,000 individuals	A4i, B1i, C3
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	breeding	1995	2,847 breeding pairs	A4i, B1i, C3
Pied Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta	LC	breeding	1995	90-110 breeding pairs	B3
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage	1996	20,000-49,999 individuals	A4iii, C4

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2000) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.
