What the records say about Newtyle
65 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Newtyle (Angus) since 2010, across 171 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Common Buzzard, Carrion Crow and Osprey.
The records split between garden birds (51%) and waterbirds (21%), so a feeder in Newtyle sees the familiar Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon and Blackbird, while Pink-footed Goose and others turn up on nearby water.
8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Osprey and Red Kite. 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 March and are lowest in October — about 15.7 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.
Coupar Angus, 8 km to the west, has more species on record (92 against 65).
Daylight runs from 17 h 46 min at midsummer to 6 h 49 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 in mid-April and 4:20 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
