VU
Assessment status criteria
D1
Assessment rationale/justification
This species has a very small breeding population in the UAE, which might qualify it for listing as Endangered. However, the population is assumed to be stable within the country and stable or increasing in the wider Arabian Peninsula; thus, the potential for immigration from outside the UAE remains very high. Therefore, the species's status has undergone a regional; adjustment down one category and is thus listed as Vulnerable at the national level.
