THE GIBRALTAR BIRD LIST
Bird species observed in or from the territory of Gibraltar
Compiled from GONHS records by Dr Ernest Garcia
Last revised; November 2009
This list gives all the 315 species known to have occurred in Gibraltar, with the exception of those represented only in the fossil record.
The status of each species is summarised briefly. Fuller details are given in "The Birds of Gibraltar" (by J E Cortes, J.C Finlayson, E.F.J Garcia & M.A.J. Mosquera, 1980, The Gibraltar Bookshop) and subsequent GONHS publications. The terms used here, and in the annual Gibraltar Bird Reports, have the following definitions;
Vagrant: Exceptional at any time in southern Iberia (including Gibraltar), e.g. Allen’s Gallinule.
Local Vagrant: Exceptional in Gibraltar but not unusual in southern Spain, e.g. Woodpigeon, Moorhen.
Rare: Seldom recorded in Gibraltar or anywhere in southern Spain, e.g. Alpine Chough and Fieldfare.
Occasional: Seen infrequently and not annually e.g. Rufous Bush Chat.
Regular: Annual in small numbers. e.g. Red-necked Nightjar.
Common: Annual and sometimes numerous, e.g.Black Redstart.
The Status Categories (Codes) are those used for the British and other national lists.
A Recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1st January 1950.
B Recorded in an apparently natural state but not since 31st December 1949.
C Introduced by man or derived from introduced populations elsewhere.
D As A or B but possibly ship-assisted, escaped or released.
