N birds are migratory, and may leapfrog over S breeders. Winters as far as West Indies and Central America, but in Palearctic usually only to Iberia. Finnish breeders move short distances, most remaining in Baltic; many N European birds winter in S North Sea. some of those breeding in NE Asia remain well N in winter, but many migrate, wintering as far S as coasts of South China Sea; some post-breeding wandering to N Alaskan coast.   (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1996)
