What the records say about Beaumaris
197 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Beaumaris (Anglesey) since 2010, across 26,428 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Eurasian Oystercatcher and Carrion Crow.
Water shapes this list. 51% of records near Beaumaris are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — European Herring Gull, Eurasian Oystercatcher and Little Egret lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Carrion Crow is still the most logged garden bird.
15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard.
Records peak in April and are lowest in December — about 2.5 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.
Llangoed, 4 km to the north, has fewer species on record (159 against 197). Birds logged far more often around Beaumaris than there include Mute Swan, Common Moorhen, Eurasian Wigeon and Common Goldeneye.
