Breeds on Arctic tundra and rocky coasts; winters on rocky northern shores of Europe and North America. Feeds on invertebrates among kelp and barnacles. Extremely site-faithful in winter.

Cryptic brown-and-buff streaking. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Sedentary. Performs display 'drumming' flights with spread tail in breeding season.
