Sedentary in most of its range, but populations at N & S limits are migratory. Large movements in flocks have
been observed in Mali at beginning and end of wet season. Non-breeding migrants visit Nigeria in dry season
between mid-Oct and May; they remain in thorn-scrub savanna and then leave with onset of summer rains; other
Nigerian populations resident. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1997)
