The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Northern Gannet Morus bassanus	LC	breeding (2013)	3,100 pairs	B1ii, B3
European Shag Gulosus aristotelis	LC	breeding (2010–2011)	500–1,200 pairs	A4i, B1i, B3
Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica	VU	breeding (2013)	50,000–70,000 pairs	A4ii, B1ii, B2
Razorbill Alca torda	LC	breeding (2013)	1,000–2,000 pairs	B1ii
A4iii Species group - seabirds	n/a	breeding (2010–2013)	55,000–75,000 pairs	A4iii

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.
