What the records say about Trimsaran

195 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Trimsaran (Carmarthenshire) since 2010, across 4,842 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Carrion Crow, Jackdaw and European Herring Gull.

Water shapes this list. 43% of records near Trimsaran are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — European Herring Gull, Black-headed Gull and Mallard lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Carrion Crow is still the most logged garden bird.

15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite and Common Buzzard.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 4.3 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.

Pontyates, 4 km to the north-east, has fewer species on record (178 against 195). Birds logged far more often around Trimsaran than there include Black-headed Gull and Eurasian Oystercatcher.

Daylight runs from 16 h 41 min at midsummer to 7 h 48 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.
