Birds of the Western Palearctic

"Birds of the Western Palearctic" refers to bird species found in a large geographical area that includes parts of Europe, North Africa, and Asia up to the Himalayas. This region is known for its diverse habitats, such as forests, wetlands, and mountains, which support a wide variety of bird life. The term encompasses both resident birds, which live there year-round, and migratory species that travel to and from these areas seasonally. Birdwatchers and researchers study these birds to understand their behaviors, habitats, and the ecological roles they play in their environments.
