Population justification: 674 individuals were counted in 2003-2004 (Vijayan 2006), and with flocks of 400-500 birds having been noted in 2013 and 2014 (D. Bishop in litt. 2013, V. Sheel per P. Jayadevan in litt. 2014) the total population is likely to exceed 1,000 individuals, however the number of mature individuals is precautionarily assumed to number fewer than 1,000.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, and counts seem to indicate that it is stable or increasing, with some inter-annual fluctuations.
