Description
This publication lists most of the Western Paleartic’s breeding birds and also includes a further 50 species from the wider Holarctic region. The 720 names are given in Dutch, English and German, together with their Latinised scientific names.
The birds are shown in five different tables. The first table gives the names in the order of the latest systematic classification. The other tables show the names sorted into alphabetical order for each language in turn. Bold type is used to show which language has been used as a sort key.
I have made considerable use of the Holarctic List published by Lund University, Sweden, and The British Ornithlogical Union’s British List. The BOU has revised the names of several birds, many of which have also received international English names often with prefixes such as Eurasian, Common, etc. These names and prefixes are shown in brackets after the usual name.
