List of birds of Portugal
This is a list of the bird species recorded in Portugal. The avifauna of mainland Portugal include a total of 466 species recorded in the wild according to Sociedade Portuguesa pars o Estudo das Aves (SPEA), Portuguese Society for the Study of Birds.[1] An additional 126 species have been recorded on the mainland and in the Azores and Madeira islands by Bird Checklists of the World.[2][3][4] Of the 592 species listed here, 267 are accidental and 18 have been introduced by humans. Three are endemic to islands, one is extinct, and five have been extirpated. Of the 592, 118 have been recorded only in one or both of the Azores and Madeiras.
This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2018 edition.[5]
The following tags have been used to highlight some categories of occurrence. The (A) and (I) tags are from Bird Checklists of the World and apply to mainland Portugal populations unless noted otherwise. The (D) and (E) tags are from SPEA and also apply only to the mainland. The notes of population status such as "endangered" apply to the world population and are also from Bird Checklists of the World.
- (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in mainland Portugal, the Azores, or Madeiras
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to mainland Portugal, the Azores, or Madeiras as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
- (D) Category D - "species found free but for which there are doubts as to the genuinely wild origin"
- (E) Category E - "birds found free [as a result of] deliberate introduction or escape from captivity, but which do not have breeding populations established, and there is no evidence that they are genuine wanderers"
