Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size: <\/b>2020: 93-185 pairs (2007: 200-500 pairs)<\/span><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n With limited patchy distribution. Higher population density of the species is found in the valleys of the rivers Struma and Mesta with the neighbouring mountain regions and in the Eastern Rhodopes, more dispersed in the Western Rhodopes. Isolated single localities are found northward towards Stara Planina.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020:<\/b> During the period 2013-2020 the species was not found in 27 squares, where it was established before 2013 mainly in the Western Rhodopes and the northern parts of the Struma Valley, which is probably due to lack of observations and not to the extinction of the species in these sites.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 79-158 pairs (<\/span>85<\/span>% of the population). The highest numbers have been registered in the SPAs \u201cStuden Kladenets\u201d (19-34 pairs), \u201cKrumovitsa\u201d (13-27 pairs), \u201cMost Arda\u201d (13-25 pairs), and \u201cKresna\u201d (13-25 pairs).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.11″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
