Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2010	poor	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
yes	population	medium

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Corncrake Crex crex	7 / 13 (pairs)	54	poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	most of population/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Some of area covered (10–49%)	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low
