What the records say about Newick
127 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Newick (East Sussex) since 2010, across 9,468 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Woodpigeon and Blackbird.
Newick is a garden-bird place: 77% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Tawny Owl.
Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 4.7 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.
Uckfield, 6 km to the east, has fewer species on record (107 against 127). Birds logged far more often around Newick than there include Garden Warbler, Little Owl and Mute Swan.
Daylight runs from 16 h 33 min at midsummer to 7 h 55 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 in mid-April and 4:44 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
