The site was identified as important in 2000 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
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	non-breeding	1994	3,500 individuals	B1i, C3
Eurasian Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria	LC	passage	1993	12,000 individuals	B1i, C2
