Population justification: The population size is unknown, but the species is described as uncommon in north-eastern China, rare or scarce in Russia and fairly common in most of its non-breeding range, except for north and central Borneo (del Hoyo et al. 2006). National population estimates include: c.100-10,000 breeding pairs and c.50-10,000 individuals on migration in China; c.50-10,000 individuals on migration in Taiwan; c.50-10,000 individuals on migration in Korea; c.50-10,000 individuals on migration in Japan and possibly c.100-100,000 breeding pairs and c.50-10,000 individuals on migration in Russia (Brazil 2009).

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