What the records say about Llandybie
96 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llandybie (Carmarthenshire) since 2010, across 2,379 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Blackbird and Blue Tit.
Llandybie is a garden-bird place: 86% 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 Wren make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. 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 April and are lowest in October — about 7.9 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.
Ammanford, 3 km to the south-east, has fewer species on record (82 against 96).
Daylight runs from 16 h 42 min at midsummer to 7 h 47 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:21 in mid-April and 4:56 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
