Migratory status	not a migrant	Forest dependency	does not normally occur in forest
Land-mass type		Average mass	-

	Estimate	Data quality
Extent of Occurrence (breeding/resident)	138,000,000 km2	medium
Severely fragmented?	no	-

	Estimate	Data quality	Derivation	Year of estimate
Population size	unknown	poor	estimated	2004
Population trend	decreasing	-	suspected	-
Generation length	11.7 years	-	-	-

Population justification: Brooke (2004) estimated the global population to exceed 15,000,000 individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be declining owing to predation from invasive species.
