Birds in Albania

193 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Albania has 193 bird species recorded regularly there: 30 residents, 46 summer visitors, 29 winter visitors, 74 passage migrants and 14 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 56,000 birdwatchers' records from 2019–2024, shared through the eBird Observation Dataset on GBIF. A bird is listed when it was recorded in at least 3 of the 6 years and has a Birdfact species guide, so more species occur here than are listed; the months show when it is recorded most years.
