Short abstract from the book:
The ringed plover is a fairly common breeding bird at many Danish coastal sites. Denmark is visited by passage migrants of both subspecies hiaticula and tundrae in July–September and March–June. The first ringed plover was ringed in Denmark in 1921, with most ringed in the 1950s. The majority of the recovered birds are Danish birds ringed in the breeding season. The first birds depart in late July and in August the mean position is in northern France. The migration direction of Danish ringed plover is SW. Birds follow the west coast of continental Europe. During winter most Danish birds have been recovered in France, Portugal and southern Spain. Most of the birds recovered in Spain and Portugal were ringed in eastern Denmark. Young birds winter on average further south than older birds. The spring migration follows the same route as in autumn. In April the mean position is in Denmark. Ringed plovers from southern Sweden are found in Denmark from late July and Finnish birds from early August. A few tundrae birds from northern Scandinavia and northern Russia have been recovered in Denmark from August to December. A bird ringed on Amager in early June was recovered at Novaja Semlja.
