What the records say about Llandeilo
114 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llandeilo (Carmarthenshire) since 2010, across 4,119 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Canada Goose, Robin and Blackbird.
Llandeilo is a garden-bird place: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Blackbird, Blue Tit and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
7 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite and Common Buzzard.
Records peak in April and are lowest in December — about 6.7 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.
Llandybie, 7 km to the south, has fewer species on record (96 against 114). Birds logged far more often around Llandeilo than there include Mute Swan, Graylag Goose, Gray Heron and Eurasian Coot.
