Short abstract from the book:
The green sandpiper is a rather rare breeding bird in Denmark and is most common in northern Zealand. Passage migrants are observed in Denmark in June–September and April–May. In Denmark the first green sandpiper was ringed in 1928, with the majority ringed from 1950 to 1980. All the recovered birds were ringed in July–August, 77 % on Amager. The recovered birds are probably passage migrants. Our knowledge about the origin of the passage migrants in Denmark is very limited since none has been recovered in the breeding area, and only three birds ringed in Sweden and Finland have been recovered in Denmark. Adult green sandpipers arrive in Denmark from mid-June, and juveniles from mid-July. Most have left Denmark by the end of August, when the mean position is south of Denmark. The migration is SW and during autumn birds have been recovered in Germany, France and Spain. During winter recoveries are from the Netherlands, France, Spain, Morocco and Algeria. None of the birds has been recovered south of the Sahara, where the majority of the population is believed to winter. The spring migration seems to follow the same route as in autumn, i.e. northwest Africa, Iberia and France. Green sandpipers pass Denmark from early April to mid-May.
