What Is The Smallest Animal In Denmark

The mute swan is the national bird of Kingdom of denmark.

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Kingdom of denmark. The avifauna of Denmark included a full of 508 species recorded in the wild by Oct 2021 according to Bird listing of Kingdom of denmark with supplemental additions from Avibase.^[ane] Of these species, 4 take been introduced past humans.

This listing's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (English and scientific names) are those of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the Earth, 2021 edition.^[ii]

The following tags are used by the Danish Ornithologcial Society (Dansk Onitologisk Forening, DOF) to highlight some categories of occurrence. Those without tags are in Category A and "have been recorded in an apparently wild state in Denmark since 1st January 1950" co-ordinate to DOF.

(B) Category B - species which naturally occurred in Kingdom of denmark prior to i January 1950 but have non been recorded since and so
(C) Category C - species introduced by humans, straight or indirectly, and which have established feral breeding populations
(*) Rarity - species which require submission to the Danish Rarities Committee of DOF for the sighting to be included in the official record.
