Population justification: The global population is estimated to number c.2,600,000-2,900,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2015). The European population is estimated at 551,000-742,000 pairs, which equates to 1,100,000-1,480,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend justification: The overall population trend is stable, although some populations have unknown trends (Wetlands International 2006). The European population trend is also thought to be stable (BirdLife International 2015).
