What the records say about Llan-non
137 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llan-non (Ceredigion) since 2010, across 2,086 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Red Kite, European Herring Gull and Canada Goose.
The records split between garden birds (54%) and waterbirds (38%), so a feeder in Llan-non sees the familiar Carrion Crow, Rook and Pied Wagtail, while European Herring Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite and Common Buzzard.
Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 39.3 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.
Llanrhystud, 4 km to the north-east, has fewer species on record (128 against 137).
Daylight runs from 16 h 47 min at midsummer to 7 h 42 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:21 in mid-April and 4:54 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
