Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common to fairly common in most parts of its range, although scarce in some parts and locally abundant in Western Sahara (del Hoyo et al. 2004). The population is estimated to be in decline following a recorded decline in Israel in the 1980s, probably owing to habitat loss (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
