What the records say about Crondall
136 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Crondall (Hampshire) since 2010, across 6,034 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Magpie and Robin.
Crondall is a garden-bird place: 72% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Magpie, Robin and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in June and are lowest in September — about 2.2 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.
Farnham, 5 km to the south-east, has more species on record (205 against 136). Birds logged far more often around Crondall than there include Rook.
Daylight runs from 16 h 35 min at midsummer to 7 h 53 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:10 in mid-April and 4:47 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
