What the records say about Llangadog

Llangadog is a garden-bird place: 85% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Robin, Wren and House Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

7 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Tawny Owl.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 122.3 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.

Llandovery, 9 km to the north-east, has fewer species on record (82 against 88). Birds logged far more often around Llangadog than there include Common Linnet.

Daylight runs from 16 h 43 min at midsummer to 7 h 45 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:20 in mid-April and 4:55 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
