Generally spends non-breeding period in coastal waters, sometimes gathering in flocks of several hundred birds;
at onset of breeding, birds move back from salt to fresh water. Srays records from Falklands. Two records from
Spain 1900-1910 highly dubious; most unlikely to have reached Europe unaided. (del Hoyo J,
