The site was identified as important in 2014 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
Northern Gannet Morus bassanus	LC	breeding	2013	3,100 breeding pairs	B1ii, B3
European Shag Gulosus aristotelis	LC	breeding	2010-2011	500-1,200 breeding pairs	A4i, B1i, B3
Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica	VU	breeding	2013	50,000-70,000 breeding pairs	A4ii, B1ii, B2
Razorbill Alca torda	LC	breeding	2013	1,000-2,000 breeding pairs	B1ii
A4iii Species group - seabirds	n/a	breeding	2010-2013	55,000-75,000 breeding pairs	A4iii

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2014) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2014. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.
