Population justification: The draft International Single Species Action Plan estimates a total breeding population of 1,400-2,000 pairs (Gallo-Orsi et al. 2014 unpublished), equating to 2,800-4,000 mature individuals.
Trend justification: There have been declines in the breeding population in many countries, with no population known to be increasing (Gallo-Orsi et al. 2014 unpublished), therefore a slow or moderate and ongoing population decline is inferred to be taking place.
