Abstract

The third report of the Croatian Rarities Committee presents 123 records of rare birds accepted in the period of 2005-2012. Eleven species and one subspecies were added to the list of Croatian birds, giving the total number of 389 bird species recorded in Croatia in categories A to C. A further 11 species were recorded in category D and two in category E. Four species are removed from the rare birds list because of the increasing number of observations. The list of rare bird species now includes 61 species and three subspecies, of which nine species are included in category D (possible escapees) and two in category E (escapees).
