Abstract

No comprehensive work has been written about the avian fauna of Somogy county. Research activities have concentrated mostly on Lake Balaton, the Kis-­Balaton area, the Boronka region, lake Baláta, the juniper woodland at Bares and the Dráva lowlands. The majority of the articles published are short communications; lengthier publications, or recently even bibliographies, have been produced only about the aforementioned, now protected areas. Most of these data are quite different from each other in many respects, thus their collation or summarisation faces difficulties. The aim of this study has been to collect and survey the works produced on the ornithofauna of the county, and to compile a species­list. It was established that out of the 373 species occurring in Hungary, there is evidence for the presence of 284 in Somogy county. Earlier results and, most of all, deficiencies revealed will hopefully provide stimulation for launching the study of the bird fauna in less researched areas, as well as for widening our knowledge about species occurring in this county.
