Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as usually uncommon, although locally common or even abundant (Byers et al. 1995).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing since it has been expanding into Morocco for the past century and is well suited to newly created urban habitats (Byers et al. 1995).
