Data on the taxonomic and ecological composition, biotopic distribution, number and duration of stay of spring-migratory birds in the south of Crimea, intra-seasonal dynamics and long-term changes in the migration complex are presented. 193 species of birds from 18 orders were registered: Passeriformes (67 species) and Charadriiformes (48) are in the lead, significant proportions belong to Anseriformes, Ciconiiformes, Falconiformes and Gruiformes (10–18). The presence of species from four ecological groups are established: limnophiles (103), dendrophiles (51), campophiles (25) and sclerophiles (14). The marine and coastal migration complex includes about 85 limnophilic species: Gavia arctica, Podiceps cristatus, Phalacrocorax carbo, Thalasseus sandvicensis, some gulls and ducks are numerous. Significant accumulations of Anatidae, Rallidae, Ardeidae, Charadrii and some Passeriformes are noted in inland reservoirs. 97 species are associated with terrestrial habitats, mainly dendrophiles (49 species), a considerable part of the migration complex of open habitats are campophiles and sclerophiles. The duration of the migration period is about 4 months (mid–February – early June), the predominant direction of flight is north–east, according to the orientation of the coastline. The increase in the diversity of avifauna in Crimea during the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries, as a consequence of increased water availability in the region and the expansion of some species’ ranges, resulted in the emergence and/or increase in numbers of at least 23 species of spring migrants in the southern part of the peninsula.
