Population justification: In Europe, the total population size is estimated at 24,400-46,000 mature individuals, with 12,200-23,000 breeding pairs (BirdLife International 2021). However, Europe comprises only approximately 2% of the species' global range, so it is not considered advisable to extrapolate from this marginal population to produce a global population estimate. The European trend for this species is not known (BirdLife International 2021), although there some evidence that it may have increased in abundance in European Russia in recent decades (Keller et al. 2020). This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, which is estimated to be declining at a rate of 7.8% over the past three generations within its mapped range (Global Forest Watch 2024). Based on these data, the global population trend is considered unknown.
