Short abstract from the book: The great crested grebe is a common breeding bird in lakes
and fjords all over Denmark. Only 80 birds have been ringed, the first in 1923. In the winter period, Danish birds
have been recovered around the English Channel and at the
IJsselmeer, where a large proportion of the European population spends the winter. However, some birds migrate southeast
to the Black Sea. One bird was recovered in the Ukraine in
April 1968 and one in the Caucasus in January 1951. Among
Swedish birds, more are recovered in the Black Sea area than
in the English Channel area.
