Our list for Czechia has 249 bird species recorded regularly there: 71 residents, 80 summer visitors, 53 winter visitors, 38 passage migrants and 7 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 3.2 million 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.
