This insectivorous species is a summer breeding resident in the
temperate regions of Asia. In the autumn, it migrates south to winter in
the tropical regions of south east Asia. Small numbers also winter in
western and southern Europe, as far south as the Canary Islands. In
Ireland, it
is a scarce or rare annual autumn passage migrant to coastal headlands
and
