This paper report on 55 rare and endangered birds breeding in Denmark, monitored by the Danish Ornithological Society in the year 2001. The project was implemented in 1998 and aims at collecting data on these species each year during the breeding season. The project is organised as a network of coordinators, each of which takes care of one or a few species. After the breeding season data are sent to a central coordinator, who prepares the final report. It is the intention of the project organisers that the data and the acquired knowledge should be used to produce action plans for the most endangered species. So far action plans for White Stork (Grell 2000a), Golden Plover (Heldbjerg and Grell 2001) and Crested Lark (Grell et al. in press) have been produced. Action plans for Red Kite and for Black Stork are planned. Furthermore, the National Forest and Nature Agency under the Ministry for the Environment has produced a national action plan for the Corncrake (Skov- og Naturstyrelsen 2000). The results for 2001 are summarised in Table 1. The columns are (left to right): species name, number of recorded breeding pairs, number of sites, coverage code, and name of species coordinator. The coverage codes are +++ (well covered, all or almost all breeding pairs recorded), ++ (acceptably covered, presumably a fairly good estimate but some data missing), and + (insufficient covered, chance observations only). Data are particularly sparse for nocturnal and dispersed species such as Corncrake, Quail, Green Sandpiper, Turtle Dove, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Wryneck, Savi's Warbler, Great Reed Warbler, Firecrest, Willow Tit, Golden Oriole, Nutcracker and Serin.
