Population justification: The global population is estimated to number c.3,600,000-4,500,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2015). The European population is estimated at 295,000-639,000 males, which equates to 590,000-1,280,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).

Trend justification: The overall population trend is decreasing, although some populations have unknown trends (Wetlands International 2015). The European population trend is estimated to be stable (BirdLife International 2015).
