Our list for Kerry has 140 bird species recorded regularly there: 37 residents, 48 summer visitors, 11 winter visitors, 35 passage migrants and 9 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 67,000 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.
