Turdus iliacus

Vindrossel

Short abstract from the book:
The redwing is an irregular and rare breeding bird in Denmark, but a common passage migrant and a rather common winter visitor. The first redwing was ringed in Denmark in 1927, with most ringed between 1960 and 2001. The recovered birds were ringed in different parts of the country, many at migration hotspots, and mainly in November and April. The numbers of passage migrants build up in October and culminate in November. The migrants come from Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic Countries. From Denmark many birds migrate SW to be recovered in England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Spain. Birds recovered in Italy were all ringed at Christiansø. During winter most birds have been recovered in southern France, Portugal and northern Italy. Twelve per cent of the winter recoveries are from Denmark. Some birds are recovered in southern Europe in March but the mean position indicates that the return migration has started. Most redwings pass Denmark in April. The main cause of death is shooting/hunting. Eighty-five per cent of the 95 birds recovered in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy were reported as shot. The main cause of death is shooting/hunting. Most have been shot in France (45 %), Spain (31 %) and Portugal (14 %).
