What the records say about Llangefni
194 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llangefni (Anglesey) since 2010, across 24,296 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Mallard, Northern Lapwing and Mute Swan.
Water shapes this list. 43% of records near Llangefni are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Mallard, Northern Lapwing and Mute Swan 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 Eurasian Marsh-Harrier, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in August — about 6.7 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.
