Short abstract from the book: The redpoll of the subspecies cabaret is a common breeding
bird in most of Jutland and a scattered breeding bird in the
rest of Denmark. The nominate subspecies flammea is a
common passage migrant and winter visitor. In some years
it occurs in irruptions. In Denmark the first redpoll was
ringed in 1928, with the majority ringed from the 1970s
to today. Forty-seven of the recovered redpolls were described as cabaret; however, the subspecies was not identified for
the remaining 91. Most of the recovered birds were ringed in
April and August. From October to December cabarets have
been recovered in Denmark, Belgium and Germany. Two
cabarets ringed in Denmark have been recovered in southern
Norway and southwest Sweden. Furthermore, four cabarets
from Sweden and one from Norway have been recovered in
Denmark. Redpolls, for which the subspecies was not identified, have been recovered from Belgium in the west to the Ukraine in the east.
