Western Palearctic

The Western Palearctic is the region composed of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its exact boundaries differ depending on the authority in question: traditionally the definition as per "BWP" (Handbook of the Birds of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa: The Birds of the Western Palearctic) is used, as shown.

BUBO Listing supports a version of AviList updated for just those species recorded within these boundaries.

For individual countries within the Western Palearctic, we use official national lists where available. These are all listed below.
