96 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024
Our list for Bahrain has 96 bird species recorded regularly there: 1 summer visitor, 26 winter visitors, 60 passage migrants and 9 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 17,000 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.
