What the records say about Inverbervie

146 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Inverbervie (Aberdeenshire) since 2010, across 1,984 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow.

The records split between garden birds (57%) and waterbirds (37%), so a feeder in Inverbervie sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow and Blackbird, while European Herring Gull and others turn up on nearby water.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. A hawk that hunts feeder birds is among them, so set feeders 2–3 metres from shrubs: close enough for cover, far enough that a cat can't ambush from it.

Records peak in June and are lowest in December — about 19.1 times as many in the busiest month. Part of that is birds (migrants and winter visitors), part is people: more birders are out in good weather, so treat the curve as activity, not a census.

Johnshaven, 7 km to the south-west, has a similar number of species on record (143 against 146). Birds logged far more often around Inverbervie than there include Chiffchaff.

Daylight runs from 17 h 51 min at midsummer to 6 h 45 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:03 in mid-April and 4:14 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
