Uffculme is a garden-bird place: 71% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, House Sparrow, Magpie and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in October — about 22.6 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.
