intracontinental or altitudinal |
Most populations migratory, flying S to winter in Pakistan, NW India, Afghanistan and Iranian Baluchistan;
some N birds merely make altitudinal movements, e.g. in W Xinjiang (NW China). Many fly 5-10 km from
nesting or roosting sites to forage. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1997)
