Résumé :	This report summarises the occurrence of 166 species or subspecies not reported elsewhere as subjects of systematic monitoring schemes. The winter 1995/96 was the first cold winter for nine years which, probably, was why many Smews, White-tailed Eagles, Purple Sandpipers and Arctic Redpolls occurred during the first months of the year. The weather was cool and dry from early March to early April, but hot and dry in mid-April; in late April and May it became unstable. Spells of mild weather gave fairly high numbers of migrating raptors (barriers, Red Kite, White-tailed Eagle, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Osprey, Peregrine Falcon) and Barnacle Goose, Crane, Hoopoe, Bluethroat and Serin. Many seabirds (Gannets, Pomarine Skuas, Arctic Skuas), Slavonian Grebes, Bitterns, King Eiders, Dotterels, Temminck's Stints, and Great Snipes, were likewise seen in the spring. Later in spring and in early summer unusually high numbers were recorded of Spotted Crake, Corncrake, River Warbler and Firecrest. June and most of July were cool and dry with spells of milder weather, but also rain. From early August to late October the weather was warm and dry, but even here spells of unstable weather occurred, and especially Jutland received much rain in October. Abundant species during summer were Fulmar, Little Egret, Ruddy Shelduck, Mediterranean Gull, and Caspian Tern. Spoonbill and White-tailed Eagle bred for the first time in many years, and fairly high numbers of breeding Osprey, Short-eared Owl and Nutcracker were likewise recorded, The Razorbill colonized the island of Bornholm after a gap of almost hundred years. The occurrence of Red-footed Falcon and Barred Warbler in late summer and early autumn was noteworthy, as was the number later in the autumn of migrating Great Northern Diver, White Stork, White-fronted Goose, Barnacle Goose, Red Kite, Buzzard, Peregrine Falcon, Crane, Little Stint, Great Snipe, Sabine's Gull, Little Auk, and Puffin. Many Stonechats, Pallas's Warblers, Yellow-browed Warblers and Two-barred Crossbills were likewise seen in the autumn. The weather was unstable with strong winds during much of November, after which it became successively colder, although short spells of milder weather did occur. Most records of Sooty Shearwater and Leach's Storm-petrel were from late autumn; later on, in December, fairly high numbers of Smew and White-tailed Eagle arrived to the country, as had been the case in the previous winter. Irruptions were recorded of Spoonbill (April-August), Little Stint (September) and Pallas's Warbler (October-November), among others. Species noted in record-setting numbers were Spoonbill, King Eider, Crane, Little Stint, Mediterranean Gull, Hoopoe, Pallas's Warbler, Firecrest, and Serin. Summaries in English of selected species in the present and previous reports are available on request.
