158 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llanddona (Anglesey) since 2010, across 6,251 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Eurasian Oystercatcher and Carrion Crow.
Water shapes this list. 47% of records near Llanddona 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.

Records peak in April and are lowest in February — about 6.0 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.
