Short abstract from the book:
In Denmark the turnstone is a very rare breeding bird, breeding only on Læsø. However, it is a common passage migrant in July–November and in May. The first turnstone was ringed in Denmark in 1925, with the majority ringed in the 1960s and ’70s. The recovered birds were ringed in May–November, six as chicks. Migrants from the north European breeding populations around the Baltic Sea arrive in Denmark in July and August. From Denmark these birds migrate southwest along the west coast of continental Europe. A one-year-old turnstone hatched in Denmark was recovered in Senegal on 20 August. During winter turnstones have been recovered in Denmark, the Netherlands, Morocco and Gambia. During spring birds have been recovered in Morocco (May) and along the French Atlantic coast (April and May). Two turnstones from Canada have been recorded in Denmark. One was recorded on 26 August, 20 days after it was ringed on Ellesmere Island in northeast Canada, and the other was recorded on 11 May. The few turnstones that are observed in Denmark during winter are believed to belong to the Canadian/Greenland population.
