Hawfinch

Short abstract from the book:
The hawfinch is a rather common breeding bird in Denmark, most abundant in deciduous forest in the east of the country. It is also a rather common passage migrant mainly in eastern Denmark, and an irregular irruptive winter visitor. The first hawfinch was ringed in Denmark in 1926, with the majority ringed from the second half of the 1960s to today. Most of the recovered birds were ringed on Zealand from January to May, probably including both Danish birds and passage migrants. One of the birds ringed as a chick was recovered at the ringing site in December, another in Schleswig-Holstein also in December, and the last 31 km from the ringing site in April. Outside the breeding season, Denmark is visited by hawfinches from Norway and Sweden. Some of the winter visitors were ringed in an earlier winter in Sweden and Germany. Other birds have been ringed and recovered at the same site in subsequent winters, however. A few hawfinches ringed in Denmark in spring have been recovered in Italy and southern France in winter.
