What the records say about Eardisley
79 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Eardisley (Herefordshire) since 2010, across 444 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blue Tit, Robin and Swift.
Eardisley 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. Blue Tit, Robin, Woodpigeon and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
Records peak in June and are lowest in August — about 132.0 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.
Lyonshall, 7 km to the north, has fewer species on record (74 against 79).
Daylight runs from 16 h 46 min at midsummer to 7 h 43 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:17 in mid-April and 4:50 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
