Short abstract from the book: The firecrest is a rare breeding bird in Denmark, breeding
mainly in southern Jutland and the southeast of the country.
It is rare passage migrant in September–October and March–
April. Six hundred firecrests have been ringed in Denmark,
the majority in the 1970s. Five birds have been recovered, all
at the ringing site. Only one of these birds was a local breeding
bird, in Gribskov in northern Zealand. It was ringed on 18
June 1968 and recovered on 24 June 1969. The others were
ringed and recorded at migration hotspots between 1 and 32
days after ringing.
