Distribution
Breeds in north Denmark and across virtually the whole of Scandinava, and from eastern France and the Alps east across Europe to the Urals. Breeds in very small numbers most years in Scotland and has bred elsewhere in Britain including northern and south-eastern England and in Iceland. First recorded breeding for Bulgaria occurred in 1993.
Birds from most of Scandinavia and north and east Russia are migratory, and those from the remainder of range partially migratory. Winter range includes Iceland, British Isles and southern parts of Sweden and Finland south to the Mediterranean from Iberia to Israel. Rarely reaches North-West Africa but regular in Nile Delta.
Vagrants recorded in Svalbard, Bear Island and Jan Mayen, and also Madeira.
