Sedentary and dispersive, although mainly migratory in N, particularly where inland waters frozen over for long
periods. Migrants reach Afghanistan, Iran and formerly Iraq; also very probably to Indian Subcontinent and
Burma, where local populations basically sedentary. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
