Short abstract from the book:
Today the kentish plover is a very rare breeder in Denmark, breeding only at a few localities. The first kentish plover was ringed in 1920, with most ringed in the 1950s and first half of the 1970s. The majority of the recovered birds were ringed on Amager, where the species once bred, and in the Danish Wadden Sea. The birds are probably all from the Danish population. The migration of kentish plovers is SW. In September ringed birds have been recovered in the Netherlands and France, and during winter one bird was recovered in northwest France. In spring one bird was found dead in northwest France on 10 April, and from mid-April to May many birds have been recorded at the ringing sites. A bird born at Falsterbo in southern Sweden was later observed breeding at Rømø in the Danish Wadden Sea, where birds from northern Germany have also been found.
