The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Mute Swan Cygnus olor	LC	winter (1994)	4,200 birds	A4i, B1i, C3
Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus	LC	non-breeding (1994)	143 birds	B1i, C2
Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula	LC	non-breeding (1994)	6,880 birds	B1i, C3
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	non-breeding (1994)	min 20,000 birds	A4iii, C4

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.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	1 / 1 (pairs)	100	good
