On 27 May 2015, a Green Warbler Phylloscopus nitidus was caught and ringed at Blavand Bird Observatory, the westernmost point in Denmark. The species is challenging to identify on morphological basis alone, and the bird’s identity was confirmed with phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial DNA sequences. This constitutes the first record of Green Warbler in Denmark, the third record in Fennoscandia – following records on Oland, Sweden, on 29 May 2003, and Aland, Finland, on 20 May 2012 – and the eighth vagrant record in Europe outside the species’ very restricted peripheral breeding range.
