Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a small range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion. The population size may be moderately small to large, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion. The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion. For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
This species breeds only in Europe, where the total population size is estimated at 28,000-50,000 mature individuals, with 14,000-25,000 breeding pairs (BirdLife International 2021). The population is considered to have remained relatively stable over three generations (10 years) (BirdLife International 2021).
