Year-roundBreedingMigrationNonbreeding

Migration

Resident to short distance migrant, depending on the population. Mainly a nocturnal migrant. Birds breeding in northern Europe generally migrate south or west; males are less likely than females and immatures to migrate. Up to 75% of the breeding population in parts of western and central Europe does not migrate, but there is also considerable movement between countries within the breeding range. Breeders in southeastern Europe and northwestern Africa are essentially nonmigratory.
