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
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	1990	25-30 breeding pairs	A1
Eurasian Eagle-owl Bubo bubo	LC	resident	1988	1-2 breeding pairs	B2
Short-toed Snake-eagle Circaetus gallicus	LC	breeding	1989	2-3 breeding pairs	B2
Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola	VU	breeding	1999	15-20 breeding pairs	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2000) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2017) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Corncrake Crex crex	28	13	breeding pairs	47	unfavourable
European Roller Coracias garrulus	11	2	breeding pairs	19	very unfavourable
Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola	18	4	breeding pairs	23	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (within 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Natural system modifications	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
