Population [top]
Population: In Europe, the population is estimated to number c.3,400,000-4,700,000 breeding pairs, equating to c.10,200,000-14,100,000 individuals (BirdLife International 2004). Europe forms 5-24% of the global range, so a very preliminary estimate of the global population size is c.45,000,000-300,000,000 individuals, although further validation of this estimate is needed.
Trend Justification: The population is widespread and very common in much of its range, however populations are declining locally owing to habitat loss and over-hunting. Subspecies talischensis is considered very rare and may number only 200-300 individuals (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
Current Population Trend: Decreasing
Additional data:
? Continuing decline of mature individuals: Unknown
? Extreme fluctuations: No ? Population severely fragmented: No
? Continuing decline in subpopulations: Unknown
? Extreme fluctuations in subpopulations: No ? All individuals in one subpopulation: No
