Abstract

In 2023, we published the first list of birds from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve and recorded the presence of 365 species. By that time, eight additional species had been registered. Based on scientific literature, online sources, and field investigations, we identified a total of 373 bird species observed in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, belonging to 61 families (out of a total of 65 families in Romania) and 19 orders. Our interest in publishing such biodiversity lists is not only important from a scientific point of view but also supports reports and presentations in which we refer to the current number of species in published material.
