This bird is restricted to coastal habitats. Highest density occurs along the West Coast. The Benguela Upwelling System gives rise to enriched inter-tidal invertebrate communities, partly through the stranding of large kelp. Emigration takes place during April. The 13 000 km northward migration is completed within seven weeks to Siberia or Greenland. Research covers seasonal changes in numbers, sex ratio, biometrics, mass and movements
