mainly sedentary, intracontinental, unclear |
Mainly sedentary; however, fairly common in lowlands of Thailand in winter, and a few individuals, possibly
juveniles, have been recorded in Malay Peninsula and in lowlands of Japan. Erroneously recorded on spring
passage at Beidaihe (NE China), probably due to confusion with Pernis ptilorhyncus. Many birds claimed to
move S onto Gangetic Plain. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
