Assessment status criteria
D1
Assessment rationale/justification
The small non-breeding population size of this species in the UAE means that the species triggers the threshold for Vulnerable under Criterion D1. However, with conditions not deemed to be deteriorating significantly, and there being a good likelihood for a rescue effect for this population, a regional adjustment has been made. The species is, therefore, listed as Near Threatened under Criterion D1 instead.

History
This species has increased its population size since 1996 due to increasing availability of suitable habitat, and it is suspected that the population size (accounting for regional adjustments) may have been sufficiently small in 1996 that it would have warranted a listing as Vulnerable under criterion D1 then, whereas now (2019) it is assessed as Near Threatened.
