This bird is a native both of Europe and Asia, being found 
along the Uralian chain of mountains which separate the two 
continents; and, in the former, in Siberia, Sweden, Lapland, 
Spitzbergen, the Ferroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and a few 
so far south as Germany, France, Prussia, Poland, Silesia, 
and Switzerland. It occurs also in the Arctic portions of 
North America, and some stragglers are occasionally seen in 
the more southern parts of that portion of the continent. 
In this country one was purchased some years ago in the 
London market; a second was taken on the Downs, near 
Brighton, in the county of Sussex; and a third in the same 
neighbourhood on the 30th. of September, 1844. A fourth 
was captured in September, 1828, a few miles north of London; 
a fifth was caught near Preston, in Lancashire, in the month 
of October, in the year 1833, and a sixth was taken in a 
trap by a bird-catcher, near Kendal, in Westmoreland, at the 
end of June or beginning of July. It was either a female 
or a young male, as were all the other recorded specimens, 
excepting the second of those taken near Brighton.
