Abstract

This paper is based on the recoveries of birds ringed in the territory of Hrvatsko zagorje region (north-western Croatia). In the period from 1972 to 2007 I ringed 16400 birds (70 species), 31 of which were recorded outside the territory of Croatia (5 species: starling Sturnus vulgaris – 26, woodpigeon Columba palumbus – 1, blackbird Turdus merula – 2, song thrush Turdus philomelos – 1 and blue tit Parus caeruleus – 1). Twenty-two birds were recovered in Europe (8 in Italy and 1 in Spain, France, Hungary and the Czech Republic) and nine in Africa (5 in Algeria and 4 in Tunisia).
