Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common to abundant throughout its range (Fry and Keith 2004), while the population in Japan has been estimated at c.100-10,000 introduced breeding pairs (Brazil 2009).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
