What the records say about North Baddesley
182 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of North Baddesley (Hampshire) since 2010, across 57,082 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Blackbird.
North Baddesley 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. Woodpigeon, Robin, Blackbird and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Common Kestrel. A hawk that hunts feeder birds is among them, so set feeders 2–3 metres from shrubs: close enough for cover, far enough that a cat can't ambush from it.
Records peak in April and are lowest in December — about 4.9 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.
Romsey, 4 km to the west, has a similar number of species on record (181 against 182).
Daylight runs from 16 h 33 min at midsummer to 7 h 55 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 in mid-April and 4:50 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
