It also breeds in Kamchatka and the Commander Islands, and with a disjunct population much further south in northeastern China and southeastern Siberia. It is a long-distance migrant, moving in winter to Indonesia. Rarely in September and October, the Pechora pipit may be observed in western Europe.
