Water shapes this list. 52% of records near Bagillt are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Common Redshank, Black-headed Gull and Little Egret lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Blackbird is still the most logged garden bird.

Records peak in January and are lowest in June — about 2.4 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.
