In 1999 the Danish Rarities Committee (Sjaeldenhedsudvalget, SU) processed 203 Danish records (including 9 records on behalf of the regional reports), of which 77% were accepted. In addition, there were 4 records from Greenland. The main section of the report includes species on the Danish list belonging to categories A, B and C according to the AERC standard. Species belonging to category D and E and records involving hybrids are treated after the main section, as are species considered for the regional reports, 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. = transitional plumage, K = calendar year, ringm. = ringed, and 5) name of observer(s), with finders marked by asterisks. Where applicable, documentation by photo (Foto), video (Video), audiotape (Band) or corpse (Dod) is indicated. The numbers in brackets after the species name refer to, respectively, the total number of records and individuals (separated by a slash) in Denmark 1) before 1950, 2) from 1950 to 1998 incl. and 3) in 1999. The present report adds three new taxa to the Danish list: Ring-billed Gull Larus delawarensis from 1999, Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus from 1995 and 'Desert' Lesser Whitethroat Sylvia curruca minula/jaxartica from 1992. Other remarkable records from 1999 were second records of White-tailed Plover Vanellus leucurus, Bridled Tern Sterna anaethetus and Blyth's Pipit Anthus godlewskii, and third record of Black-browed Albatross Diomedea melanophris. The first Danish record of a hybrid White-backed X Great Spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos leucotos X major is reported from 1987, and the first Rough-legged Buzzard from Greenland is reported from 1999. Three species are removed from the Danish list: Wilson's Storm-petrel Oceanites oceanicus and Saker Falco cherrug, whose records are no longer considered acceptable, and Bufflehead Bucephala albeola, which has been moved to category D.
