Short abstract from the book:
The bullfinch is a common breeding bird in woodlands, parks and mature gardens all over Denmark. It is common passage migrant and winter visitor. In Denmark the first bullfinch was ringed in 1928. The number of ringings has increased since the 1960s and culminated in the 1990s. Most of the recovered bullfinches were ringed outside the breeding season, and only a few were ringed as chicks. The subspecies has been identified for only very few of the recovered birds. Most of the Danish bullfinches seem to remain close to the breeding site all year round. None of the birds ringed in the breeding season has been recovered from abroad. Sixty-seven per cent of the birds have been recovered within 5 km of the ringing site. Outside the breeding season, Denmark is visited by bullfinches from Norway, Sweden and Finland. The influx of birds from these populations is greatest in October. Some of the visitors continue to Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands or even Italy. The mean position of females during winter is a little south of that of males. In spring most bullfinches pass Denmark in April.
