|
In 1998 the Danish Rarities Committee (Sjaeldenhedsudvalget, SU) processed 183 records of which about 75% were accepted. The main section of the report, Accepted records, includes species on the Danish list belonging to cathegory A, B, and C, according to the AERC standard; species belonging to cathegory 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 (Foto), video (Video) or tape (Band) is indicated. The three numbers in brackets after the species name refer to, respec tively, the total number of records (not individuals) in Denmark (1) before 1950, (2) from 1950 to 1997 incl., and (3) in 1998. The present report adds three new species to the Danish list: Black-winged Kite Elanus caeruleus, Stilt Sandpiper Micropalama himantopus and Blyth's Pipit Anthus godlewskii. Other remarkable cases were third records of Lesser Scaup Aythya affinis, Blue-cheeked Bee-eater Merops superciliosus, Desert Warbler Sylvia nana, Arctic Warbler Phylloscopus borealis, and from 1997 also Crag Martin Ptyonoprogne rupestris and from 1952 White's Thrush Zoothera dauma. The greatest invasion on record during the 20th century of Pine Grosbeak Pinicola enucleator occurred in the autumn.
