Short abstract from the book:
Even though mild winters have favoured the bittern, it is still a relatively rare breeding bird in Denmark. The first bittern of a total of 58 was ringed in 1927. Eight have been recovered, three in the first autumn after ringing. Two birds were recovered in Denmark, one in France (1 November) and one in Belgium (20 March). The proportion of migrants in the Danish breeding population is unknown. Four bitterns from Sweden (3) and Finland have been found in Denmark from October to February.
