This species is only twice recorded as having visited the British Isles, a female being obtained on the Lincolnshire coast, and a male at Suleskerry Lighthouse, Sutherlandshire, both during the autumn migration. Gätke mentions it as having occurred three times in Heligoland on migration, but beyond this there are no records for Western Europe. Its summer home commences in the north-eastern part of European Russia, the western limit being the provinces of Olenetz and Jaroslav. In parts of the Ural Mountains it is very numerous, more especially in the Province of Perm. The Province of Orenburg is also visited, and it is not uncommon on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Eastward it is found breeding in Turkestan, the Altai Mountains, Bokhara, Gilgit, and Kashmir.

It winters in parts of India, Ceylon, Burma, and Cochin China.
