Its European breeding population is relatively small (<32,000 pairs), but increased substantially between 1970–1990. Although some marginal populations were stable or increased during 1990–2000, the species declined in its Russian stronghold, and underwent a moderate decline (>10%) overall. Nevertheless, this decline is probably outweighed by the earlier increase, and consequently it is provisionally evaluated as Secure.
