What the records say about Tandragee
65 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Tandragee (Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon) since 2010, across 1,157 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Blackbird and Common Buzzard.
Tandragee is a garden-bird place: 76% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Blackbird, Pied Wagtail and Wren make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 6.4 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.
Gilford, 4 km to the north-east, has a similar number of species on record (69 against 65).
Daylight runs from 17 h 14 min at midsummer to 7 h 18 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:26 in mid-April and 4:50 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
