Resident, dispersive or migratory, depending on winter temperatures of breeding grounds. Some birds winter in
tidal estuaries and sheltered bays, but generally far less common in such habitats than other grebes. Frequent
records outwith main range, even in unsuitable habitat, indicate considerable capacity for aerial reconnaissance
and colonization of new areas. Nominate race recorded in N Norway, Azores, Madeira and Canaries.
