What the records say about Dyserth
169 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Dyserth (Denbighshire) since 2010, across 8,117 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Common Buzzard.
The records split between garden birds (59%) and waterbirds (31%), so a feeder in Dyserth sees the familiar Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Blue Tit, while European Herring Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel 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 January and are lowest in October — about 4.0 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.
Rhuddlan, 4 km to the west, has more species on record (194 against 169).
Daylight runs from 16 h 60 min at midsummer to 7 h 31 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:16 in mid-April and 4:45 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
