Justification:
|
This species breeds in North Africa, south-east Europe, parts of the Arabian Peninsular and central Asia; it winters south of the Sahara to East Africa. The global population appears to be large with estimates of 130,000 to 160,000 pairs in Europe and 1,500,000 pairs in Turkey (Svensson 2006). It is a common passage migrant and non-breeding visitor within parts of its African range. Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
