Birds in Worcestershire

Our list for Worcestershire has 167 bird species recorded regularly there: 78 residents, 27 summer visitors, 28 winter visitors, 21 passage migrants and 13 scarce visitors

The list comes from 253,000 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.
