Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, located just south of Gede in Kilifi County, Kenya, has been studied ornithologically for over 100 years. This list represents a checklist of 261 species of bird recorded within the boundaries of the forest together with those recorded from the section of Arabuko Swamp that occurs within the northern boundary near Arabuko / Mijomboni. Records have been collated from as many reputable sources as possible, vetted for accuracy and include specimen records together with sight observations and mist-net capture records.
