What the records say about Trebarwith
126 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Trebarwith (Cornwall) since 2010, across 23,045 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Jackdaw and Carrion Crow.
Trebarwith 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. Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Peregrine Falcon. 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 November — about 3.2 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.
Camelford, 5 km to the south-east, has more species on record (165 against 126). Birds logged far more often around Trebarwith than there include House Sparrow, Rock Pigeon, European Shag and Great Tit.
Daylight runs from 16 h 29 min at midsummer to 7 h 58 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:26 in mid-April and 5:05 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
