What the records say about Constantine
155 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Constantine (Cornwall) since 2010, across 9,057 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Blackbird and Jackdaw.
Constantine is a garden-bird place: 72% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Blackbird, Jackdaw and Woodpigeon make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard.
Records peak in December and are lowest in March — about 3.9 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.
Gweek, 3 km to the south-west, has fewer species on record (139 against 155).
Daylight runs from 16 h 24 min at midsummer to 8 h 3 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:29 in mid-April and 5:10 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
