Short abstract from the book:
The thrush nightingale is a common breeding bird in eastern parts of the country. The birds arrive in early May, and most have departed by the end of September. In Denmark the first thrush nightingale was ringed in 1921, with the highest number ringed in 1987. The recovered birds were ringed from May to August, most during migration. Thirty-three per cent of the recovered birds were ringed in western Denmark and 67 % in eastern Denmark. The autumn migration is SE with a number of recoveries from Egypt. The first birds have been recovered south of Denmark in August (in Hungary), and in September birds have been reported from Austria and from the north coast of Egypt. One Danish bird was recovered as far south as South Africa (20 November). During winter another Danish bird was recovered in Malawi. No birds have been recovered south of Denmark in spring. The first recovery from Denmark was 1 May. Recoveries indicate that migrants from Sweden and Finland pass Denmark on their migration.
