Short abstract from the book:
Long-tailed tit breeds over most parts of Denmark except in Western Jutland where the distribution is very patchy. Both the caudatus and the europeauces subspecies breed in Denmark. In Denmark, the first long-tailed tit was ringed in 1926; the largest number was ringed in 1983 (586). The majority of the recovered birds were ringed and recovered at costal sites in September-October and in March-April. Only eight birds were recovered more than 50 km from the ringing site, and only four were recovered from abroad (three in Sweden and one in Germany). The recoveries indicate that the most of the Danish long-tailed tits are residents performing only local movements – mainly from late September to early November and in March-April. Long-tailed tits from Russia, Sweden and Finland pass through Denmark on their migration in October-November. These recoveries show that many long-tailed tits migrate together during several hundred kilometres of migration, since they were ringed and recovered together.
