Loddiswell is a garden-bird place: 68% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Robin, Jackdaw 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 and Common Kestrel.
