Short abstract from the book:
The coal tit is a common breeding bird all over Denmark, and a common passage migrant and winter visitor. In Denmark the first coal tit was ringed in 1919, with most ringed during an irruption in 1988. Most of the recovered birds were ringed in Blåvand in western Jutland and in Grib Skov in northern Zealand. The majority were ringed in May–June and September–October. The Danish coal tits are residents and the mean distance between ringing and recovery site of 65 Danish birds was only 2 km. Birds ringed as chicks have on average travelled a little further than those ringed as adults in the breeding season. All birds that have migrated considerable distances were ringed at Blåvand. Denmark has been visited by coal tits from Norway, Sweden, Finland and Estonia outside the breeding season. Most of these birds were ringed during migration, and might be from breeding areas further northeast. The migrants were recovered from 22 September to 17 May, most in December.
