Birds in Tunisia

Our list for Tunisia has 168 bird species recorded regularly there: 19 residents, 13 summer visitors, 44 winter visitors, 74 passage migrants and 18 scarce visitors

The list comes from 29,000 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.
