Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified. In Europe, the breeding population is estimated to number 200,000-396,000 pairs, which equates to 400,000-792,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015), but Europe forms <10% of the global range.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction. The small European population is estimated to be increasing (BirdLife International 2015).
