Notes
- 1 The Austrian checklist does not include the recent split of Rock pipit Anthus petrosus from water pipit; both occur in Austria, water pipit breeding and rock pipit as an accidental (Snow & Perrins 1998).
- 2 The Austrian checklist does not include the recent split of hooded crow Corvus cornix from carrion crow; both breed in Austria (Snow & Perrins 1998).
- 3 The Austrian checklist does not include the recent split of lesser redpoll Carduelis cabaret from common redpoll; both occur in Austria, with lesser redpoll breeding and common redpoll a winter visitor (Snow & Perrins 1998, Knox et al. 2001).
Inclusion of these three splits would bring the Austrian total to 419 species.
