What the records say about Liphook
112 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Liphook (Hampshire) since 2010, across 2,771 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Blackbird.
Liphook is a garden-bird place: 79% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Robin, Blackbird and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Red Kite.
Records peak in January and are lowest in November — about 7.8 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.
