Birds in Monaghan

58 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Monaghan has 58 bird species recorded regularly there: 25 residents, 12 passage migrants and 21 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 1,553 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.

Fewer birdwatchers' records come from Monaghan than from better-watched areas, so this list is less complete. For a fuller picture, see the list for Ulster.
