Short abstract from the book: The rock pipit is a rare breeding bird in Denmark, mainly
breeding on smaller islands in the Kattegat area. It is a rather
common passage migrant, most numerously in September–
October and March. In Denmark the first rock pipit was
ringed in 1930, with most ringed in 1975 (54) and 1976
(49). Eleven of the 12 recovered birds were ringed at breeding
locations on Nordre Rønner and Hirsholmene. Most of the
birds ringed at the breeding sites were recovered at the ringing
site, three during the first summer, four in the second summer
and two in the third summer. Only one of the Danish birds
was recovered during winter, in southwest France. Recoveries
of foreign-ringed birds show that passage migrants come from
Sweden. These birds were ringed on migration and could be
from further northeast.
