<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The present article is an upgrade and update of national checklists published by the Slovenian Rarities Committee in the past. A species is considered rare if fewer than 10 records are known after 1st January 1950. The number of records for these species is given in the list. Additionally, species designated as rare in the last edition of the list and extinct breeders were also considered. All records after 1st January 2001, included in the list, were confirmed by the current Slovenian Rarities Committee. Data collection for the period between 1st January 1800 and 31st December 1949 was centred on evaluating written sources, which were the basis for inclusion of a species into previous editions of the list. The data classification and taxonomy follow the recommendations of the British Ornithologists' Union. The list includes species observed at least once between 1st January 1800 and 31st December 2011. The list of birds recorded in Slovenia contains 380 species, of which 365 are in Category A, seven in Category B and eight in Category C. Category D contains six and Category E 29 species. These species are not part of the list. In comparison with the last version of the list published in 2001, 10 species recorded in Slovenia for the first time during this period were added. Two species were added because of taxonomic changes and five due to changes in species categories. Seven species were removed from the list owing to inaccurate information in historic written sources or misidentification.</p></abstract>
