What the records say about Adwick le Street
150 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Adwick le Street (Doncaster) since 2010, across 13,735 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Robin.
Adwick le Street is a garden-bird place: 65% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Robin and Magpie make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
14 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 April and are lowest in September — about 2.2 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.
Askern, 6 km to the north-east, has fewer species on record (145 against 150).
Daylight runs from 17 h 3 min at midsummer to 7 h 27 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:06 in mid-April and 4:34 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
