The site was identified as important in 2006 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
Red-breasted Goose Branta ruficollis	VU	passage	2005-2006	1,000-4,000 individuals	A1, A4i
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	passage	2005-2006	4,000 individuals	A4i
