few birds winter close to breeding grounds |
Mostly migratory, with some birds perhaps wintering in or near breeding areas; generally avoids snow-covered
areas. In China, winters mainly N of R Yangtze, occasionally further S, to Guangdong; records of 30 and 40
birds seen on consecutive days in NW Sichuan (C China) in 1989; rare in winter on S slopes of Himalayas in N
India and Nepal. Accidental to Japan, mainly in winter, almost certainly from Korea. (del Hoyo J,
