Most northern and interior populations move southwards to winter at lower latitudes. Even within mainly
sedentary populations (e.g. that of Britain and N Sea coasts), some spectacular gatherings at moulting sites
performed, perhaps requiring extensive flights. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
