What the records say about Barton Stacey
147 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Barton Stacey (Hampshire) since 2010, across 15,984 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Robin and Woodpigeon.
Barton Stacey is a garden-bird place: 81% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Robin, Woodpigeon and House Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in April and are lowest in November — about 10.0 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.
Sutton Scotney, 3 km to the south-east, has fewer species on record (132 against 147). Birds logged far more often around Barton Stacey than there include Red-legged Partridge.
Daylight runs from 16 h 35 min at midsummer to 7 h 53 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 in mid-April and 4:49 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
