There's a few additional species for which I'll need to check the geographic status and classification, but otherwise I don't expect to add much else for the foreseeable future!
A short update of two halves now - firstly, mopping up the various vagrant species I didn't include in the previous update (restricting myself to regular vagrants) and then species I have seen more recently:
181) Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) - seen at Riga Zoo
182) Baikal Teal (Sibirionetta formosa) - seen at Zoo Berlin
183) Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) - seen at Zoo Berlin
184) American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) - seen at Weltvogelpark Walsrode
185) Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) - seen at Cologne Zoo
186) Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris) - seen at Cologne Zoo

@MagpieGoose Does the muskox count? (With the two questions if Greenland counts as a part of Denmark and/or if the reintroduced populations at Norway/Sweden count after they went extinct at Europe a few millenniums ago)
