Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |

| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Appears to be recovering without specific intervention. |
| Question 3: | At a landscape scale, would the species benefit from untargeted habitat management to increase habitat mosaics, structural diversity, or particular successional stages? |
| Response: | Yes |
| Justification: | A species of disturbed ground so could potentially benefit from increased structural diversity and the creation of disturbed areas. |
