Rare birds in Nepal
Abstract
Records of all Nepal’s bird species that were previously considered vagrants by the National Red List of Nepal’s Birds (2016) were collated and detailed with localities, dates and observers. Species recorded since 2016 and records of other vagrant species after this period were also covered. These species were assessed to determine if they were vagrants, that is species that had a total of ten or less records. It was concluded that six species are no longer vagrants and that Nepal currently has a total of 79 vagrant species. However, three additional species have still to be considered by the Nepal Rare Birds Committee. Nine species have so far only been recorded in the 19th century.
