Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common (Baker 1997), while the population in China has been estimated at c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs (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.
