Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common (del Hoyo et al. 2006), while national population sizes have been estimated at c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in China and c.10,000-1 million breeding pairs in Taiwan (Brazil 2009). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
