Song Thrush

Turdus philomelos

Sangdrossel

Short abstract from the book:
sage migrants have been recovered. The Danish song thrushes are migratory, leaving Denmark in September. The migration is directed towards the SW. Danish birds winter in southwest France, Spain, Portugal and also in Italy and North Africa. The first birds are recovered from the winter quarters in September but the majority arrive in October. Recoveries south of the Pyrenees are mainly from November. The mean position of Danish birds is in southwest France in March and in Denmark in April. Many adult birds return to the same breeding site and many breed close to the site where they were born. Migrants from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia pass Denmark in September–October. The migrants are recovered in the same areas as Danish birds, although more frequently in the Mediterranean. The winter mean position of young birds in their first winter is a little further north of that of older birds. In spring most migrants pass Denmark in March–April. The main cause of death is shooting/hunting. Most have been shot in France (45 %), Spain (31 %) and Portugal (14 %).
