Population justification: The total population is estimated at 244,000-468,000 pairs, which equates to 488,000-936,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International in prep.).

Trend justification: The population size is estimated to be decreasing at a rate of 16% in 10 years (SEO/BirdLife 2019, BirdLife International in prep.), with a revised trend period as generation length is now estimated at 2.7 years from the methods of Bird et al. (2020).
