Population justification: The breeding population, which is confined to Europe, is estimated to number 164,000-281,000 pairs, which equates to 329,000-562,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
