Population justification: The breeding population, which is confined to Europe, is estimated to number 1,530,000-3,090,000 pairs, which equates to 3,060,000-6,190,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend justification: In Europe, trends between 1982 and 2013 show that populations have undergone a moderate increase (EBCC 2015).
