Population justification: In Europe, the total population size is estimated at 13,800-40,300 mature individuals, with 6,900-20,200 breeding pairs (BirdLife International 2021). However, Europe comprises only approximately 2% of the species' global range, so it is not considered advisable to extrapolate from this marginal population to produce a global population estimate. In Europe, the trend for this species is not known (BirdLife International 2021). As no other data are available to derive trends, the global population trend for this species is unknown.
