|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red-breasted Goose Branta ruficollis | VU | passage (2005–2006) | 1,000–4,000 birds | A1, A4i |
| Greylag Goose Anser anser | LC | passage (2005–2006) | 4,000 birds | A4i |
| Mallard Anas platyrhynchos | LC | passage (2005–2006) | 1,000–12,000 birds | A4i |
| Pallid Harrier Circus macrourus | NT | passage (2005–2006) | 30 birds | A1 |
| A4iii Species group - waterbirds | n/a | passage (2005–2006) | 20,000-49,999 birds | A4iii |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2006. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.
