What the records say about Laugharne

138 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Laugharne (Carmarthenshire) since 2010, across 3,467 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Carrion Crow, Little Egret and Eurasian Curlew.

Water shapes this list. 46% of records near Laugharne are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Little Egret, Eurasian Curlew and European Herring Gull lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Carrion Crow is still the most logged garden bird.

12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Red Kite.

Records peak in November and are lowest in August — about 6.2 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.

Saint Clears, 6 km to the north-west, has fewer species on record (72 against 138). Birds logged far more often around Laugharne than there include Little Egret, Eurasian Curlew, Eurasian Oystercatcher and Common Redshank.
