Short abstract from the book:
The redstart colonised Denmark in the mid-1800s and is now a rather common breeding bird in eastern Denmark. The birds arrive in Denmark in late April and depart in October. Passage migrants are found in May and August-October. The first redstart was ringed in Denmark in 1926, with the highest number ringed in 1967 (2,761). Most of the recovered birds were ringed during migration, and many have been ringed at the migration hotspots of Christiansø and Blåvand. One Danish adult breeding bird and 36 birds ringed as chicks have been recovered. Recoveries of birds ringed in Denmark and abroad show that most of the passage migrants come from Scandinavia and a few from breeding areas further east. From Denmark the migration of both Danish birds and passage migrants is SW. The mean position is south of Denmark from August onwards. In October the mean position is in the Iberian Peninsula, and the first bird to reach North Africa was recovered in Morocco on 30 July. During winter, birds have been recovered in Morocco (3), Algeria and Spain, but no birds have been found in the presumed winter quarters south of the Sahara. The return migration follows approximately the same route as in autumn, possibly a little further east. In May the mean position is north of Denmark. Most of the recovered birds were recorded by ringers. The most frequent known causes of death are hunting and window collisions.
