Résumé :
|
In 1997 the Danish Rarities Committee (Sjaeldenhedsudvalget, SU) processed 225 records of which about 80% were accepted. The main section of the report, Accepted records, includes species on the Danish list belonging to category A, B, and C, according to the AERC standard; species belonging to category D and E are treated after the main section, before the sections dealing with records from Greenland, records still under consideration, and records not accepted. For each record the following details are included: 1) year and date, 2) locality (see map for regions), 3) number of individuals if more than one, 4) other details if known: sdr. = summer plumage, vdr. = winter plumage, odr. = transition plumage, K = calendar year, fundet dod = found dead, ringm. = ringed, and 5) name of observer(s), with finders marked by asterisks. Where applicable, documentation by photo (F), video (V) or tape (B) is indicated. The three numbers in brackets after the species name refer to, respectively, the total number of records (not individuals) in Denmark (1) before 1951, (2) from 1951 to 1996 incl., and (3) in 1997. The present report adds two new species to the Danish list: White-tailed Lapwing Chettusia leucura and Daurian Jackdaw Corvus dauuricus. A new subspecies was Icelandic Redwing Turdus iliacus coburni (from 1995). Other remarkable occurrences in 1997 were second records of Little Shearwater Puffinus assimilis, Lesser Scaup Aythya affinis, Trumpeter Finch Bucanetes githagineus, and Pine Bunting Emberiza leucocephalos, and an unprecedented invasion of White-winged Black Tern Chlidonias leucopterus, including several breeding attempts.
