Breeds in Siberia, strongly migratory with most birds moving to southeastern Asia during winter; rare vagrant to Western Europe. Very secretive. Omnivorous, eating wide range of insects, earthworms and berries.

  1. Siberia is a long way for a little fellow - another fabulous find - must be very satisfying to see rare birds
