What the records say about Mobberley
142 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Mobberley (Cheshire East) since 2010, across 11,224 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Magpie and Robin.
Mobberley is a garden-bird place: 63% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Magpie, Robin and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in December and are lowest in September — about 2.8 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.
Knutsford, 4 km to the west, has a similar number of species on record (141 against 142).
Daylight runs from 17 h 0 min at midsummer to 7 h 30 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:11 in mid-April and 4:40 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
