It is not known to breed west of Archangel, but its breeding-range probably extends to the Pacific, as it has been obtained on Behring Island. ToWestern Europe it is only an accidental visitor on migration, but it is occasionally found inwinter in Africa, where it has occurred in Damara-Land, Natal, and the shores of the RedSea. The main line ol migration in autumn in the west is up the valleys of the Dwina andthe Petchora to the Volga, whence it follows the Caspian to the south coast of Asia. Inthe east it occurs on migration on the coasts of Japan and China, and winters on all thesouthern coasts of Asia, frequently visiting the islands of the Malay Archipelago, andoccasionally Australia.
