Connectivité globale pour Tourterelle turque

Collared Dove is largely sedentary or locally dispersive, but they are seen at migration bottlenecks (but few are ringed), so some are migratory. There are very few long-distance recoveries, with most migrating birds staying within their European region. Birds wintering in S Sweden come from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Birds from the British Isles very rarely leave. Birds from C Europe move SW in winter, but only a few 100 km. Most recoveries are within 700 km of the ringing site; long-distance records are exceptional and connect e.g. Russia to Helgoland, the Netherlands to Morocco. There are almost no recoveries before 1960, as the species colonized most of Europe during this decade, hence few were ringed.
