| Taxonomic Notes: | Erithacus rubecula (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was split into E. rubecula and E. superbus following Bergmann and Schottler (2001), but this treatment has not been adopted by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working because it considers the levels of morphological and vocal differentiation to be small. | ||||||

Justification: This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. |

| Population: | In Europe, the breeding population is estimated to number 43,000,000-83,000,000 breeding pairs, equating to 129,000,000-249,000,000 individuals (BirdLife International 2004). Europe forms 75-94% of the global range, so a very preliminary estimate of the global population size is 137,000,000-332,000,000 individuals, although further validation of this estimate is needed. |
