Migration

Mostly nonmigratory, but breeding birds in northern Siberia are migratory. Northern European populations occasionally stage major fall irruptions, with large numbers of white-headed caudatus birds moving into Finland, the Baltic states, and Eastern Europe and much smaller numbers reaching Western Europe.
