Species attributes
| Migratory status | not a migrant | Forest dependency | Medium |
| Land mass type | Average mass | - |
Distribution
| Estimate | Data quality | |
|---|---|---|
| Extent of Occurrence breeding/resident (km2) | 1,200 | medium |
| Area of Occupancy breeding/resident (km2) | 700 | good |
| Number of locations | 5-10 | - |
| Fragmentation | - |
Population & trend
| Estimate | Data quality | Derivation | Year of estimate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of mature individuals | 2000-5000 | poor | Estimated | 2004 |
| Population trend | Increasing | medium | - | |
| Number of subpopulations | 2-100 | - | - | - |
| Largest subpopulation | 1001-1000000 | - | - | - |
| Generation length (yrs) | 5.5999999 | - | - | - |
| Population justification: The breeding population is estimated to number 1,000-2,500 breeding pairs, equating to 3,000-7,500 individuals, roughly equivalent to 2,000-5,000 mature individuals. | ||||
| Trend justification: The species's Area of Occupancy is larger than previously thought and may have increased over the last 20 years (Barov and Derhé 2011), thus its population is suspected to have increased over the last 17 years (estimate of three generations). | ||||
