Résumé :	This report presents a summary of the occurrence in Denmark in 2003 of 117 species and subspecies of birds. The information is gathered from various sources, not least the database "DOFbasen" of the Danish Ornithological Society, where observations may be entered online. The importance of DOFbasen appears from the fact that it contains no less than 362 015 records from 2003.Species seen in record-setting numbers include Great Northern Diver, Great Egret, Spoonbill, White-tailed Eagle, Corn Crake, Great Skua, Mediterranean Gull, Rock Pipit, and Yellow-browed Warbler, as well as Danish breeders of Black-necked Grebe, Barnacle Goose and Crane. Numbers of about 22 other species were likewise high, and although some species certainly did increase, the introduction of DOFbasen probably played a significant role in the apparent increase of others. Species recorded in unusually low numbers in 2003 were Red-necked Phalarope, Pomarine and Long-tailed Skua, Iceland and Glaucous Gull, Wryneck, Red-throated Pipit and Rosefinch.
