Disperses in Dec-Jan after breeding, but movements apparently limited to relatively short distances, up to c. 18
km. Several records outlying areas at beginning of 20th century, as far W as Cape Town, 1000 km W of present
range; these suggest that more extensive wanderings took place in past, although at that time species probably
bred in E Cape Province. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
