What the records say about Haworth
134 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Haworth (Bradford) since 2010, across 7,911 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Jackdaw and Meadow Pipit.
Haworth is a garden-bird place: 63% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Meadow Pipit and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Kestrel, Common Buzzard and Barn Owl.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 4.6 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.
Scar Top, 4 km to the west, has fewer species on record (114 against 134).
Daylight runs from 17 h 7 min at midsummer to 7 h 24 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:09 in mid-April and 4:35 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
