Short abstract from the book:
The corn bunting is a common breeding bird in Denmark with the highest abundance in north and west Jutland. In Denmark the first corn bunting was ringed in 1921, with most ringed in the second half of the 1960s. Two of 17 recovered birds were ringed as chicks, the rest were ringed in December–February. No foreign birds have been recovered in Denmark. The recoveries indicate that corn buntings are very sedentary. Only three birds were recovered more than 5 km from the ringing site. The corn buntings often stay close to the breeding site year round. The mean distance travelled for eight birds ringed during winter and recovered in April–August was 6 km (0–34 km). The mean distance between wintering sites in subsequent years was only 1 km (0–10 km, n=7).
