Water shapes this list. 44% of records near Tingewick are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Lesser Black-backed Gull, Mallard and Common Moorhen lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Woodpigeon is still the most logged garden bird.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in September — about 2.3 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.
