Birds in Poland

Our list for Poland has 260 bird species recorded regularly there: 73 residents, 98 summer visitors, 51 winter visitors, 35 passage migrants and 3 scarce visitors

The list comes from 2.9 million 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.
