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
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	2009	130 males	C1

White-backed Woodpecker Dendrocopos leucotos	LC	breeding	2005-2009	30-35 breeding pairs	C6
Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria	LC	breeding	2008-2009	100-200 breeding pairs	C6

Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva	LC	breeding	2006-2009	600 breeding pairs	C6

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 (2009) is shown below.
