| Migration: intracontinental |

few residents around equator |
A regular trans-equatorial, intra-African migrant, usually laying eggs (or eggs) within a month of arriving in E, C
and S Africa and departing within a month of fledging a chick. Bulk of population breeds S of equator, moving S
through Uganda and Rwanda in Jul-Sept, N through Zambia and Kenya in Feb-Mar, to winter NE of equator.
Relatively few breeding records in W and NE African savannas; probably a separate sub-population with limited
seasonal movements, S into Guinea savannas in dry season and N to breed in Jul-Sept. A few apparently resident
around equator. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
