Bohemian Waxwing, Bombycilla garrulus, is a species of passerine bird in the waxwing family found in woodland and forest ecosystems. The species breeds in boreal forest and muskeg, usually relatively open forest or edge, usually coniferous, but occasionally in birch (Betula) forest or mixed forest. It is a widespread breeder in northern Fennoscandia and Russia. It prefers well-drained areas near major rivers, normally including dense growth of fruiting plants. In non-breeding season it is found in a wide variety of habitats with fruiting plants and at least scattered trees, including roadsides, gardens, farmland and the edges of deciduous forest (European Red List 2015).
Bombycilla garrulus has a breeding population size of 79000-306000 pairs and a breeding range size of 373000 square kilometres in the EU27. The breeding population trend in the EU27 is Stable in the short term and Increasing in the long term.
The EU population status of Bombycilla garrulus was assessed as Secure, because the species does not meet any of the IUCN Red List criteria for threatened or Near Threatened, or the criteria for Depleted or Declining (the EU27 population or range has not declined by 20% or more since 1980).
