The site was identified as important in 2016 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
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	LC	breeding	2011-2015	164-214 breeding pairs	B1i, B3, C2, C6
Little Egret Egretta garzetta	LC	breeding	2011-2015	19-49 breeding pairs	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2016) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2016. The most recent assessment (2017) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	110	164	breeding pairs	100	favourable
Little Egret Egretta garzetta	15	19	breeding pairs	100	favourable
