Abstract
This paper documents 18 additions to the list of the birds of Congo-Brazzaville since the publication of Dowsett-Lemaire & Dowsett (1998) and a few studies published subsequently. The records concern ten Afrotropical species, seven rare Palearctic migrants or vagrants, and one introduced species, and come from the Lac Télé Community Reserve, Likouala department, the Lesio-Louna Reserve and the coast. Among these are the first observations in the country of Weyns’s Weaver Ploceus weynsi, of which a few remarkably large flocks were seen, one comprising at least 20,000 individuals. Details of sightings of four species that were already on the Congo-Brazzaville list but about which little is known in the country are also provided.
