What the records say about Llanrwst
114 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llanrwst (Conwy) since 2010, across 4,378 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Blackbird and Woodpigeon.
Llanrwst is a garden-bird place: 78% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite 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 21.2 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.
Betws-y-Coed, 5 km to the south, has more species on record (121 against 114).
Daylight runs from 16 h 58 min at midsummer to 7 h 32 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:18 in mid-April and 4:47 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
