Migratory in N populations, sedentary or with local movements in S. Arrives on breeding grounds in Siberia and
Japan in May; leaves in Sept/Oct to winter from SE Asia S to Indochina, where migrants may coincide with
sedentary populations. Considerable movement recorded over Bali, with 2186 birds seen in 1 month, mainly
from mid-Oct to early Nov. The late spring migration is related to availability of food in N breeding zones;
arrival in some areas of Punjab in Pakistan coincides with that of migratory rock bee (Apis dorsata). May travel
distances in search of feeding areas, e.g. on Indian Subcontinent. Recent records from Andaman Is may refer to
migrants of perhaps to local breeding population. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
