What the records say about Bugle
94 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Bugle (Cornwall) since 2010, across 1,614 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Carrion Crow and Magpie.
Bugle is a garden-bird place: 82% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Carrion Crow, Magpie and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Tawny Owl. 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 March and are lowest in November — about 10.7 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.
Roche, 3 km to the north-west, has more species on record (99 against 94).
Daylight runs from 16 h 26 min at midsummer to 8 h 1 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:27 in mid-April and 5:07 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
