Résumé :	This report summarises the occurrence in Denmark of 116 species and subspecies. The covered years both had relatively warm springs and autumns, and 2000 was the second warmest year since 1874. Extended warm periods in April-May in both years had a positive effect on the migration of some raptor species. A gale 3-4 December 1999 resulted in the highest wind speeds ever measured in Denmark but had little effect on the occurrence of seabirds. Species/subspecies seen in record-setting numbers in 1999 include Great Northern Diver, Bittern, Great White Egret, Hobby, and Peregrine, and in 2000 Bittern, Little Egret, Spoonbill, Bar-headed Goose, Egyptian Goose, Green-winged Teal, Black Kite, Peregrine, Bee-eater, and Water Pipit. In addition, many Pomarine Skuas occurred in the autumn of 1999, and the same autumn saw the beginning of major invasions of Pygmy Owl and Parrot Crossbill.
