Taxonomic note
Sylvia cantillans and S. subalpina (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) were previously lumped as S. cantillans following AERC TAC (2003), Cramp et al. (1977-1994), Dowsett & Forbes-Watson (1993) and Sibley & Monroe (1990, 1993).

Population justification: The population has not been quantified since the species was split.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing owing to a recent expansion in some areas of its breeding range. In Europe, trends between 1989 and 2013 have shown a moderate increase (EBCC 2015).
