What the records say about Llangeler
59 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llangeler (Carmarthenshire) since 2010, across 413 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Canada Goose, Swift and Lesser Black-backed Gull.
The records split between garden birds (51%) and waterbirds (36%), so a feeder in Llangeler sees the familiar Robin, Blue Tit and House Sparrow, while Canada Goose and others turn up on nearby water.
5 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Eurasian Marsh-Harrier. 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 28.8 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.
Llandysul, 5 km to the east, has a similar number of species on record (61 against 59).
Daylight runs from 16 h 44 min at midsummer to 7 h 44 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:22 in mid-April and 4:56 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
