In S Europe adults non-migratory, in C Asia semi-resident, often following nomads and their domestic herds.
Partly migratory in Asia: most birds leave Mongolia and other N breeding areas for winter; migrants winter from
NE Africa and Middle East through N India to Korea; some birds reach Arabia and S China. (del
