Short abstract from the book:
The wheatear is a rather scarce breeding bird in Denmark and a common passage migrant. The birds arrive in April and the last depart in late October. The first wheatear was ringed in Denmark in 1921, with the greatest numbers ringed in 1957 (234) and 1969 (201). Half of the recovered birds were ringed as chicks and most of the remainder were ringed during the migration season. Eleven foreign birds have been recovered in Denmark. The recoveries indicate that most of the passage migrants come from southern Scandinavia, a few from northern Norway and Finland. From Denmark the wheatears migrate SW. In September the mean position is in southern France. One bird was recovered in Morocco; none have been recovered in winter. During spring all recoveries are from Denmark or further north. Two birds ringed as chicks were recovered in a subsequent breeding season. One was recovered at the ringing site (after two years) and one 6 km from the ringing site one year after ringing.
