Population justification: The European population is estimated at 23,300-30,300 pairs, which equates to 46,600-60,500 mature individuals (BirdLife International in prep.). Europe forms approximately 31% of the global range, so a very preliminary estimate of the global population size is 150,000-195,000 mature individuals, although further validation of this estimate is needed. The North African population is estimated to be c.10,000 pairs or 20,000 mature individuals (Garrido et al. in prep.).
Trend justification: This species is declining locally owing to forest destruction, human disturbance and persecution and reduction in prey species (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001). In Europe and North Africa the population size is estimated to be increasing (BirdLife International in prep.; Garrido et al. in prep.). Overall the population trend is considered stable (Global Raptor Information Network 2021; Orta et al. 2020).
