Population justification: In Europe (which covers c.95% of the breeding range), the breeding population is estimated to be 299,000-598,000 pairs, which equates to 597,000-1,200,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend justification: The European population trend between 1998 and 2013 was estimated to be stable (EBCC 2015).
