Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size<\/b>: <\/i><\/b>2020: 700 – 1000 pairs (2007: <\/span>650 \u2013 750 pairs)<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n With patchy and dispersed distribution all over the country, mainly in the plains and low mountain areas. More concentrated in the Eastern Rhodopes, Sakar and the valley of the Tundzha River with the neighbouring regions, the mountains to the west and north from the Sofia Field, Vrachanska Mountain and the Iskar Gorge; the river valleys of most rivers in the Danubian Plain, including the dry valleys in Dobrudzha; along the southern slopes of Stara Planina, the region of Sashtinska Sredna Gora; and the western part of the Thracian Plain, etc. Rare in the higher parts of Rila, Pirin, Western Rhodopes, totally absent from the forested region of Strandzha.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020:<\/b>\u00a0 <\/b>In some areas, such as the western part of the Thracian Plain, the species is still expanding, occupying new territories, while in others, such as the Besaparski hills and the Derventa hills, and Sakar there is a sharp decline in population in recent years, mainly due to agricultural intensification and other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 200-300 pairs (28% of the population). The highest numbers have been registered in the <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas \u201cSakar\u201d (30-35 pairs), \u201cNikopol Plateau\u201d (13 pairs), \u201cLomovete\u201d (8-11 pairs) and \u201cSinite Kamani – Grebenets\u201d (7-10 pairs). <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
