Birds in Warwickshire

Our list for Warwickshire has 162 bird species recorded regularly there: 83 residents, 24 summer visitors, 27 winter visitors, 19 passage migrants and 9 scarce visitors

The list comes from 219,000 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.
