What the records say about Bodedern
176 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Bodedern (Anglesey) since 2010, across 13,531 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Blackbird and Mallard.
Water shapes this list. 48% of records near Bodedern are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — European Herring Gull, Mallard and Black-headed Gull lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Blackbird is still the most logged garden bird.
13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in April and are lowest in November — about 4.4 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.
