Short abstract from the book: The treecreeper is rare in parts of northern and western
Jutland but a common breeding bird in the rest of the country. In Denmark the first treecreeper was ringed in 1922,
with most ringed in the first half of the 1970s. The majority
of the recovered birds were ringed in September–November,
mainly in eastern Denmark. The recoveries show that most
Danish treecreepers are residents. Twenty-two of 25 birds
were recovered within 5 km of the ringing site. The three
birds that moved more than 5 km were all recovered abroad
– one in Sweden and two in Poland. The two birds recovered
in Poland were both passage migrants ringed on Christiansø.
Two foreign birds have likewise been recorded at Christiansø
in October and March: one ringed at Ottenby and one ringed
in Poland. A treecreeper ringed in Gdansk Bay on 20 October
was recovered on Bornholm three days later, and a bird ringed at Falsterbo on 1 November was found on Zealand 15
days later.
