Birds in Singapore

Our list for Singapore has 60 bird species recorded regularly there: 16 residents, 1 summer visitor, 24 winter visitors, 17 passage migrants and 2 scarce visitors

The list comes from 1.1 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.
