What the records say about Llanrhystud

128 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llanrhystud (Ceredigion) since 2010, across 1,807 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Red Kite, European Herring Gull and Eurasian Oystercatcher.

The records split between garden birds (53%) and waterbirds (39%), so a feeder in Llanrhystud sees the familiar Carrion Crow, Rook and Northern Wheatear, while European Herring Gull and others turn up on nearby water.

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

Records peak in April and are lowest in January — about 31.2 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.

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