Population justification: The population size is unknown, but the species is described as common and widespread on suitable watercourses throughout its range (del Hoyo et al. 2006), while national population estimates include: < c.10,000 breeding pairs in China; c.100-10,000 breeding pairs in Taiwan; c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in Korea; c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in Japan and c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in Russia (Brazil 2009). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
