What the records say about Uplawmoor
80 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Uplawmoor (East Renfrewshire) since 2010, across 548 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Mute Swan, Jackdaw and Carrion Crow.
Uplawmoor is a garden-bird place: 74% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Robin and House Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
Records peak in November and are lowest in September — about 133.0 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.
Howwood, 6 km to the north-west, has more species on record (165 against 80).
Daylight runs from 17 h 34 min at midsummer to 7 h 0 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:15 in mid-April and 4:32 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
