Population justification: The species is described as common in most of its range, uncommon to locally common in West Africa, and rather local in East Africa (del Hoyo et al. 2004). The European population is estimated at 1,450,000-3,340,000 pairs, which equates to 2,900,000-6,690,000 mature individuals. However, Europe forms a very small part (c.5%) of the global range. It is therefore likely that the species's population falls within the band 10,000,000-500,000,000 mature individuals.
Trend justification: In Europe the overall trend from 1980-2013 was stable (EBCC 2015).
