What the records say about Buriton

130 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Buriton (Hampshire) since 2010, across 6,439 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Carrion Crow.

The records split between garden birds (58%) and waterbirds (31%), so a feeder in Buriton sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Robin and Carrion Crow, while Egyptian Goose and others turn up on nearby water.

13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 6.5 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.

Petersfield, 4 km to the north, has a similar number of species on record (128 against 130).

Daylight runs from 16 h 33 min at midsummer to 7 h 55 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:10 in mid-April and 4:48 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
