List of birds in Germany

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of birds in Germany lists the bird species whose occurrence in Germany has been observed.

The list only contains species whose findings have been recognized by the responsible ornithological bodies (for example by the German Rarity Commission or corresponding institutions at state level) and published in relevant specialist journals. In addition, only those species are considered at this point, the observation of which can be traced back to the observation of wild animals as well as those that have been naturalized, i.e. that originally occur in other regions, but which have now established themselves in the longer term through reproduction.

The basis for the following list is the list of species of birds in Germany as of July 1, 2005, as published by Peter H. Barthel and Andreas J. Helbig in the Limicola magazine, vol. 19, (2005), issue 2. The taxonomic order and nomenclature corresponds to that in the named source. Additions in later publications at the request of the ornithological committees will be recorded.

The names entered under Status indicate the type of occurrence. Breeding bird denotes a species that reproduces in Germany. Species that can be found throughout the year are called annual birds. Migratory birds leave Germany in winter or these species migrate through Germany as residents of other regions. Breeding birds from other regions that visit Germany for the winter are designated as winter visitors. If the respective information is seldom provided with the addition, the number of individuals is less than 100 in each case. Exceptions characterize species that are rarely found in Germany. This applies if, on average, fewer than five certificates per year or, since 1950, fewer than five certificates (then referred to as a special exception) have been provided.

The numbers and letters marked with RL refer to the status in the Red List of breeding birds and have the following meaning: RL 0 - this species has become extinct as a breeding bird in Germany, RL 1 - the species is threatened with extinction in Germany, RL 2 - this one Species is critically endangered in Germany, RL 3 - this species is endangered, RL R designates species with geographical restrictions and RL V designates species that are on the warning list.
