Bynkefugl

Short abstract from the book:
The whinchat is a rather common breeding bird in areas with rough grassland, mainly in western Denmark. It is a common passage migrant in August–September and May. In Denmark the first whinchat was ringed in 1922, with most ringed between 1965 and 1997. The few recovered birds were ringed from May to August, three as chicks. The recoveries indicate that the passage migrants come from Finland, Sweden and Norway. The Norwegian birds mainly pass Jutland, whereas Finnish and Swedish birds pass eastern Denmark. From Denmark the birds migrate SW, and two birds have been recovered in September in Spain and Portugal. No birds have been recovered during winter. In spring a whinchat was recovered in Morocco on 19 April and a bird ringed in Italy in May was later recovered in Denmark. A bird ringed on Christiansø in August was recovered in the Lebanon during spring. A whinchat ringed as a chick in northeast Germany was recovered on 3 October in its first autumn in western Jutland.
