Population justification: The population is estimated to number 25,000-100,000 individuals, roughly equating to 16,600-67,000 mature individuals. Numbers are suspected to fluctuate, but with a stable trend over the longer term (Wetlands International 2023).

Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the extent of threats to the species (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
