Small breeding populations persisted well into the twentieth century on Sado island (Niigita prefecture), the Noto peninsula (Ishikawa prefecture) and possibly on the Oki islands (Shimane prefecture), but the last wild birds were taken into captivity on Sado island in 1981, and it is extinct in the wild in Japan.
The small remnant populations that survived there were affected by disturbance, agricultural changes that caused paddies to dry up in winter, and agrochemical use in the 1950s and 1960s which greatly reduced the availability of their insect prey (Satoh 1978).
One bird found dead at Mt Bijo on the Noto peninsula in 1957 had been poisoned by agrochemicals (Muramoto 1982), and two birds found dead on Sado island in 1966 and 1970 had been poisoned by mercury and agrochemicals (Satoh 1978).
