Short abstract from the book:
The grey wagtail is a scarce breeding bird (c. 500 pairs), mainly in Jutland and a scarce passage migrant and winter visitor. In Denmark the first grey wagtail was ringed in 1935, with the highest number ringed in 1976 (246). The recovered birds were probably all from the Danish breeding population. During winter grey wagtails have been recovered in Denmark (4), Germany (1) and Wales (1); the mean distance to the ringing site was 203 km (0-909 km, n=6). For birds ringed as chicks and recovered in a subsequent breeding season, the mean distance between ringing and recovery site was 11 km (0-37, n=11). Adults probably disperse even less (mean 2 km, 0-14 km, n=6). One bird ringed abroad (Norway) has been recovered in Denmark (Funen on 28 November). Seventy-nine per cent of the recoveries were live recaptures. Three birds were found dead, two were killed by cats and two collided with windows.
