Goldcrest

Regulus regulus

Short abstract from the book:
The goldcrest breeds in coniferous forests all over Denmark and is a common passage migrant in September–October and April. In Denmark the first goldcrest was ringed in 1926, with most ringed in the 1980s and first half of the 1990s. The recovered birds were mainly passage migrants ringed in September–October and April at the migration hotspots. The recoveries show that the visitors come from Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic countries and northwest Russia. Not surprisingly, Norwegian birds are most common in Jutland, whereas Swedish and Finnish birds are more frequent in eastern Denmark. The goldcrests leave Denmark in many different directions. Some have migrated due west to the British Isles and others SSW to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Italy. A fast bird migrated 736 km from Omø to Spurn Point in one day in mid-October. A few birds have been “blown” to Øland or southwest Norway. Twenty-six birds have been recovered during winter, of these 15 in Denmark. Goldcrests have also been recovered in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Algeria (!). The goldcrests pass Denmark on their return migration in March– April. A few birds ringed in Denmark in April were recovered in Britain less than a month after ringing.
