Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species appears to be common throughout most of its range (del Hoyo et al. 2002). Tree planting activities have enabled this species to expand its range south-westwards. It is common throughout most of its range and adaptable to habitat alterations (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
