Short abstract from the book:
The magpie is a common breeding bird all over Denmark, both in rural and urban areas. The first magpie was ringed in Denmark in 1916, with the majority ringed in the second half of the 1950s and first half of the 1960s. Seventy-three per cent of the recovered birds were ringed in April–June. Most of the Danish magpies are residents and 70 % have been recovered within 5 km of the ringing site. Of 76 young magpies recovered during their first autumn, the mean distance was 2 km, and only five were recovered between 10 and 24 km from the ringing site. Only one of the birds ringed as a chick travelled more than 100 km (from the island of Anholt to Århus). Most adult magpies have also been recovered in close vicinity to the ringing site. Magpies ringed around Skagen in northernmost Jutland travelled the longest distances: all nine birds that were recovered more than 100 km from the ringing site were ringed around Skagen. The recoveries indicate that Denmark is visited by a few magpies from Norway and Sweden.
