Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 1,000-2,499 mature individuals. This equates to 1,500-3,749 individuals in total, rounded here to 1,500-4,000 individuals.

Trend justification: A survey in 2006 found that the breeding population had not increased but was stable at around 500 pairs.
