Résumé :
|
The Danish Rarity Committee was established in 1965. Therefore, the first complete systematic reference work on Danish birds by Finn Salomonsen (1963a) generally has been used for status on rare birds before 1965. Unfortunately, Salomonsen in most cases only gives a summarized status on occurrence of rare birds, so that it is impossible to see which records has been accepted or rejected. And even when single records are listed, it is often unclear, which criteria Salomonsen used for either accepting or rejecting a specific record.During the last 60 years, many new records of rare birds have been found in collections, and new knowledge on occurrence has been collected, so that it has long been overdue to revise the status of rare birds in Denmark before 1965.During our review, almost all known Danish ornithological literature, publicly known museum and private collections and several other sources have been consulted to update status. The Danish Rarity Committee has approved a set of general criteria for accepting or rejecting records used and conclusions presented in this paper. All known records for each species and sub-species (accepted and rejected records) are published on the net (see end of references). In this paper, a summarized revised status is given on all species and sub-species, which appeared on the first list on rare birds from The Danish Rarity Committee published in 1965.
