Short abstract from the book:
The golden plover was once a common breeding bird in Denmark, but today the population has decreased to 6–10 breeding pairs. The species is a common passage migrant, mainly in August–November and April–May. Most birds are observed in western Jutland. The first golden plover was ringed in 1952; most were ringed in the 1950s. The recovered birds were all ringed on Amager during autumn, probably all passage migrants. From Denmark migration is directed SW. During winter Danish ringed birds have been found in western and southwestern Europe, and a few in North Africa. Only a few golden plovers have been recovered in spring, in France and Belgium (March) and Russia (May). The recoveries indicate that most passage migrants in eastern Denmark come from northern Russia, whereas more birds passing northern and western Jutland are of Scandinavian origin. The main known cause of death is hunting
