What the records say about Llannon

131 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llannon (Carmarthenshire) since 2010, across 1,432 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Robin and Little Egret.

Llannon is a garden-bird place: 61% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Robin, Song Thrush and Pied Wagtail make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

10 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 May and are lowest in October — about 4.6 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.

Pontyberem, 4 km to the north-west, has fewer species on record (52 against 131). Birds logged far more often around Llannon than there include Little Egret, Pied Wagtail, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Eurasian Teal.

Daylight runs from 16 h 41 min at midsummer to 7 h 47 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:22 in mid-April and 4:57 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
