Cyanopica cyanus is resident in Iberia, with Europe accounting for less than a quarter of its disjunct global range (the rest-well separated-occurring in eastern Asia). Its European breeding population is large (>260,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970-1990. Although the trend of the key Spanish population during 1990-2000 was unknown, the population in Portugal was stable, and there was no evidence to suggest that the species's status deteriorated overall.
