List of birds of Sweden
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Turdus_merula_-garden_wall-8.jpg/200px-Turdus_merula_-garden_wall-8.jpg)
This is a list of the bird species recorded in Sweden. The avifauna of Sweden included a total of 514 confirmed species as of April 2019, according to Birdlife Sverige.[1] From eBird, a pair of species resulting from a taxonomic "split" have replaced one of the species on the SEO list, and an additional species has been added.[2] Of the 516 species listed here, 205 are accidental and one has been introduced by humans. One is extinct.
This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (English and scientific names) are those of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2019 edition.[3]
The following tags have been used to highlight some categories of occurrence.
- (A) Accidental - a species that has occurred fewer than 100 times in Sweden
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Sweden as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions, and has become established
