Short abstract from the book:
The nuthatch breeds over most of Denmark except in western Jutland where the distribution is patchier. The species is a rare but occasionally irruptive visitor at the migration hotspots. In Denmark the first nuthatch was ringed in 1922, with the highest number of birds ringed in 1995 (94). The majority of the recovered birds were ringed during winter, and most birds were ringed in northern Zealand and on eastern Lolland. The Danish nuthatches are very residential: only 14 of 86 birds were recovered more than 1 km from the ringing site and only four more than 5 km away. Four of the ten recoveries of birds ringed as chicks were between 1 and 3 km from the ringing site; the rest were recovered within 1 km if the ringing site. None of the four birds recovered more than 5 km from the ringing site were ringed as chicks, and the longest distances (21 and 22 km) were travelled by an adult and a one-year old.
