Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is estimated to number 50,000-55,000 pairs or 100,000-110,000 mature individuals in European Russia (del Hoyo et al. 2005). Therefore the global population is likely to fall within the range 100,000-499,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the impacts of habitat modification on population sizes.
