Short abstract from the book:
The robin is a common breeding bird all over Denmark, breeding in forests, parks and gardens. It is a very common passage migrant in September–October and April–May and an common winter visitor. In Denmark the first robin was ringed in 1913, with most ringed from the 1960s to the present day. The recovered birds have been ringed in all areas of the country, mainly during migration in September–October and April–May. Only relatively few of the recovered birds were ringed in the breeding season. The majority of the Danish robins are probably migrants migrating SW. Danish birds have been recovered in a rather narrow zone through the Netherlands, Belgium, western Germany, France, Spain and Portugal. After 14 October all Danish birds have been recovered from abroad. During winter birds have been recovered in the Netherlands, Belgium and France. In spring the first bird was recovered in Denmark on 6 April. The mean distance between ringing and recovery site of birds ringed as adults and recovered in a subsequent breeding season was 2 km (0–13, n=14). In September–October many robins from Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic countries have been recovered in Denmark. Most of the migrants continue SW, and in September the mean position is south of Denmark. Most birds seem to have reached their winter quarters in western and southwestern Europe in November. A few have been recovered in North Africa. The easternmost recoveries during winter were all of birds ringed on Christiansø. The mean positions indicate that many birds have departed from their winter quarters during March, with the mean position in April in Denmark.
