The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Black Woodpecker Dryocopus martius	LC	resident (1994)	10–13 pairs	C6

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.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris	1 / 1 (pairs)	100	good
Eurasian Eagle-owl Bubo bubo	1 / 1 (pairs)	100	good
Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis	2 / 2 (pairs)	100	good
