Checklist of the birds of Germany
Compiled by Christoph Moning
This list is not absolutely complete, because I wanted it to be as practically as possible. Therefore it is not unnecessarily long. All the "common" rarities are included.
Status: W = winter, S =summer, R = rarity ore very rare; N = neozoa or escaped individuals; Capitals = at least most of the breeding area/ Population is restricted to Europe
UR = Upper Rhine Valley; LC = Lake Constance area; BV = Bavaria
1 = likely to be seen in several days birding in the region specified, using this page as a guide; 2 = uncommon or local: may be seen while birding in the region; 3 = very rare or localized: unlikely to be seen on a visit to the region.
Distribution restrictions (DR): N = most likely to be seen in Northern Germany; E = most likely to be seen in Eastern Germany; S = most likely to be seen in Southern Germany; W = most likely to be seen in Western Germany; - = not restricted to a certain part of Germany
