What the records say about Coppull
136 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Coppull (Lancashire) since 2010, across 9,327 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Robin.
Coppull is a garden-bird place: 66% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Robin and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Peregrine Falcon 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 March and are lowest in November — about 5.4 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.
Adlington, 4 km to the east, has more species on record (157 against 136).
Daylight runs from 17 h 4 min at midsummer to 7 h 27 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 in mid-April and 4:39 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
