Thirteen species of dragonfly were found, including the northern emerald. The keeled skimmer (Orthetrum coerulescens), the beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) and the southern hawker (Aeshna cyanea), also present in the site, are species of restricted distribution in Scotland. The site was found to be in favourable condition.
