Birds in Luxembourg
Our list for Luxembourg has 145 bird species recorded regularly there: 41 residents, 37 summer visitors, 10 winter visitors, 47 passage migrants and 10 scarce visitors
The list comes from 35,000 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.
