Short abstract from the book:
The jay is a common breeding bird all over Denmark. It is additionally an irregular irruptive passage migrant and winter visitor. The first jay was ringed in Denmark in 1918 and most birds were ringed in the early 1970s. The majority of the recovered birds were ringed in Tved in northwest Jutland, at Kalø in eastern Jutland and in northern Zealand. Most of the recovered birds were ringed in June and December–January. The majority of the Danish jays are residents, with none of the birds ringed as chicks recovered abroad. The mean distance to the ringing site in the first autumn (June–September) is 7 km, in October–December 20 km and in March–May 21 km. Adults do not disperse over great distances either, with a mean distance between ringing and recovery site of 7 km. Ninety per cent of the birds ringed outside the breeding site were recovered less than 5 km from the ringing site. Recoveries indicate that Denmark is visited by migrants from Norway, Sweden, Poland and Germany.
