In this article, Europe refers to the geographical continent, not the somewhat larger Western Palearctic, which includes parts of the Middle East and north Africa. There are about 700 species of bird in the area, and in general the avifauna is similar to Asia north of the Himalayas, which shares the same ecozone. There are also many groups shared with North America. Conversely, many of the Southern Hemisphere groups, including the ancient flightless '' Struthioniformes'' (ostrich order), and their relatives the tinamous are not represented at all. The order follows the Voous Order, with the revision of the Anseriformes and Galliformes brought to the start of the list, adopted by all European countries. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories. * (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Europe * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Europe as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions ==Anseriformes== The clade Anseriformes includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl, such as geese and swans. These birds are adapted to an aquatic existence with webbed feet, flattened bills, and feathers that are excellent at shedding water due to an oily coating. *Mute swan, ''Cygnus olor'' *Whooper swan, ''Cygnus cygnus'' *Tundra swan, ''Cygnus columbianus'' *Bean goose, ''Anser fabalis'' *Pink-footed goose, ''Anser brachyrhynchus'' *Greater white-fronted goose, ''Anser albifrons'' *Lesser white-fronted goose, ''Anser erythropus'' *Greylag goose, ''Anser anser'' *Bar-headed goose, ''Anser indicus'' *Snow goose, ''Chen caerulescens'' *Brant, ''Branta bernicla'' (A) *Barnacle goose, ''Branta leucopsis'' (A) *Canada goose, ''Branta canadensis'' *Red-breasted goose, ''Branta ruficollis'' *Ruddy shelduck, ''Tadorna ferruginea'' *Common shelduck, ''Tadorna tadorna'' *Eurasian wigeon, ''Anas penelope'' *Gadwall, ''Anas strepera'' *Baikal teal, ''Anas formosa'' *Eurasian teal, ''Anas crecca'' *Mallard, ''Anas platyrhynchos'' *Northern pintail, ''Anas acuta'' *Garganey, ''Anas querquedula'' *Northern shoveler, ''Anas clypeata'' *Red-crested pochard, ''Netta rufina'' *Common pochard, ''Aythya ferina'' *Ferruginous pochard, ''Aythya nyroca'' *Tufted duck, ''Aythya fuligula'' *Greater scaup, ''Aythya marila'' *Lesser scaup, ''Aythya affinis'' *Common eider, ''Somateria mollissima'' *Harlequin duck, ''Histrionicus histrionicus'' *Long-tailed duck, ''Clangula hyemalis'' *Black scoter, ''Melanitta nigra'' *White-winged scoter, ''Melanitta fusca'' *Common goldeneye, ''Bucephala clangula'' *Smew, ''Mergellus albellus'' *Red-breasted merganser, ''Mergus serrator'' *Common merganser, ''Mergus merganser'' *White-headed duck, ''Oxyura leucocephala'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of birds of Europe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
