Our list for Hungary has 242 bird species recorded regularly there: 65 residents, 83 summer visitors, 45 winter visitors, 43 passage migrants and 6 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 735,000 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.
