What the records say about Leintwardine

Leintwardine is a garden-bird place: 80% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Blackbird and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite and Common Buzzard.
Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 2.9 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.
Bucknell, 5 km to the west, has fewer species on record (118 against 123).
Daylight runs from 16 h 48 min at midsummer to 7 h 41 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:16 in mid-April and 4:48 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
