Population justification: In Europe the population is estimated to be 103,000-510,000 pairs, which equates to 206,000-1,020,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015). Europe forms approximately 65% of the global range, so a very preliminary estimate of the global population size is 315,000-1,570,000 mature individuals, although further validation of this estimate is needed.
Trend justification: In Europe the population size is estimated to be decreasing by less than 25% in 12 years (three generations) (BirdLife International 2015).
