Bearded Reedling

Short abstract from the book:
reeding in reedbeds, the bearded tit has a patchy distribution in Denmark. The first confirmed breeding attempt was in 1966. The first bearded tit was ringed in 1967; the largest number was ringed in 1992 (875). All the recovered birds were ringed in reedbeds in Western and North-Western Jutland. Rather surprisingly, half of the 17 recoveries are from abroad – from Norway (4), Sweden (3), Kaliningrad (1) and the Netherlands (1). These recoveries indicate that although bearded tits are considered residents, some do perform dispersive movements over longer distances in some years – mainly in October. The two longest movements, to Kaliningrad and the Netherlands, were performed by juvenile males. Six foreign birds have been recovered in Denmark: four from Sweden, one from Germany and one from the Netherlands.
