Contribution to the list of birds of the Šolta Island

This paper presents 26 species and two subspecies, which are new in relation to the existing list of birds for the Šolta island published two decades ago, and which add up to the knowledge of ornithofauna of this island to the overall number of 132 species. New data were gathered from various sources: 7 species based upon own field research, 3 species upon ringed birds data, 12 species on the basis of private collections of J. Purtić and the Vlak family, 2 species from the catalogue of the ornithological collection of the Natural History Museum in Split, 1 species from the catalogue of the Collection of birds of the Croatian Natural History Museum, and 1 species from the older ornithological literature. Of the total of 26 species, 4 are nesting birds, and 22 are spring-autumn migrants or the wintering birds of the Šolta island.
