Our list for Guinea-Bissau has 73 bird species recorded regularly there: 4 residents, 1 summer visitor, 27 winter visitors, 29 passage migrants and 12 scarce visitors.
The list comes from 43,000 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.
