Local birds in Danish, English and German

Google is still quite hopeless when it comes to names of birds, so it always takes some detective work to not only identify birds I see (and with a bit of luck sometimes photograph) on my walks and find out what they are called in one of the three languages I use the most, but to also find out what they are in the other two languages. Hence this list which is a work in progress.
