Population justification: The European population is estimated at 7.9-14.3 million pairs, which equates to 15.8-28.6 million mature individuals or c. 24-43 million individuals (BirdLife International 2015). Europe forms c. 40% of the global range, so a preliminary estimate of the global population size is 60-110 million individuals, which roughly equates to 40-75 million mature individuals. Further validation of this estimate is needed.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat. In Europe, the population is estimated to have undergone a modest increase between 1980 and 2013 (EBCC 2015).
