Migratory status	not a migrant	Forest dependency	does not normally occur in forest
Land-mass type		Average mass	-

	Estimate	Data quality
Extent of Occurrence (breeding/resident)	1,820,000 km2	medium
Extent of Occurrence (non-breeding)	1,030,000 km2	medium
Severely fragmented?	no	-

	Estimate	Data quality	Derivation	Year of estimate
Population size	6700-330000 mature individuals	poor	estimated	2009
Population trend	decreasing	-	suspected	-
Generation length	11.7 years	-	-	-

Population justification: Brooke (2004) estimated the global population to number tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to predation by invasive species and human activities at its breeding sites.
