What the records say about George Green
163 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of George Green (Buckinghamshire) since 2010, across 19,906 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Red Kite, Woodpigeon and Robin.
The records split between garden birds (56%) and waterbirds (31%), so a feeder in George Green sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Robin and Carrion Crow, while Lesser Black-backed Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel. 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 January and are lowest in September — about 2.4 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.
Slough, 3 km to the south-west, has more species on record (184 against 163). Birds logged far more often around George Green than there include European Stonechat, Treecreeper and Siskin.
Daylight runs from 16 h 39 min at midsummer to 7 h 50 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 in mid-April and 4:44 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
