What the records say about Llanbedrog
138 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llanbedrog (Gwynedd) since 2010, across 1,469 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Carrion Crow and Blackbird.
Llanbedrog 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. Carrion Crow, Blackbird, Robin and Jackdaw make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Barn Owl and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 24.0 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.
Abersoch, 4 km to the south, has fewer species on record (129 against 138).
Daylight runs from 16 h 54 min at midsummer to 7 h 35 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:21 in mid-April and 4:52 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
