The site was identified as important in 2010 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
Osprey Pandion haliaetus	LC	breeding	1995-2003	1-2 breeding pairs	C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	breeding	1990-2003	5-7 breeding pairs	C6
Red Kite Milvus milvus	LC	breeding	1990-2003	10-14 breeding pairs	C1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2009) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Pollution	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Residential and commercial development	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Natural system modifications	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
