Birds in Omagh

Our list for Omagh has 47 bird species recorded regularly there: 25 residents, 1 summer visitor, 3 passage migrants and 18 scarce visitors

The list comes from 1,348 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.

Fewer birdwatchers' records come from Omagh than from better-watched areas, so this list is less complete. For a fuller picture, see the list for Northern Ireland.
