Population justification: Brooke (2004) estimated the global population to number at least 4,000,000 individuals. The European population is estimated at 77,800-111,000 pairs, which equates to 156,000-221,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to predation by invasive species. In Europe, the population size is estimated to be decreasing by less than 25% in 46 years (three generations) (BirdLife International 2015).
