Northern Raven

Corvus corax

Ravn

Ravn

Short abstract from the book:
In Denmark the raven is most common in southern and eastern Jutland and on Funen, but the distribution has expanded and it is now found in many parts of the country. The first raven was ringed in 1910, with the majority ringed in the 1990s, mainly in southern Jutland and mainly as chicks. A large proportion of the recoveries are from birds where the ring number has been read in the field. The recoveries show that the Danish ravens are residents, making only relatively short movements. The mean distance between ringing and recovery site was 27 km (0–139, n=108). Young birds stay in close vicinity to their birthplace in July, but in August three young birds have been recovered between 9 and 53 km from the ringing site. The longest distance to the ringing site during winter is 78 km. Several Danish ravens have been recovered in Schleswig-Holstein, mainly in November–February.
