Winter records from NW Thailand indicate short-distance migration, although birds concerned possibly
represent an unknown population. Recorded from Bhutan in springs of 1996 and 1997; not recorded from
Andaman Is, and some doubts surround origin of Nepalese record. May be summer visitor only to breeding
zone. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1999)
