Assessment status criteria
D1
Assessment rationale/justification
This species has a small and stable non-breeding population in the UAE, which qualifies it for listing as Vulnerable. On a global scale, the species is stable, so breeding populations outside of the country may have a large rescue effect. Therefore, the species's status is adjusted down by one step to Near Threatened at the national level.

Threats listed in assessment
Within Europe the species has suffered in some areas from habitat degradation caused by off-road vehicles or dry conditions causing vegetation to become rank (Hagemeijer and Blair 1997), but it is unsure whether these threats affect individuals of this species that visit UAE. The most relevant threats within UAE are changes in coastal land-use and the possibility of oil pollution, but the severity of these threats towards this species is unknown.
