What the records say about Binbrook
68 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Binbrook (Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 344 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Barn Owl, Red Kite and Woodpigeon.
Binbrook 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, Blackbird, Yellowhammer and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
6 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Barn Owl, Red Kite and Common Buzzard. 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 January and are lowest in November — about 22.8 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.
North Thoresby, 9 km to the north-east, has more species on record (104 against 68). Birds logged far more often around Binbrook than there include Barn Owl.
Daylight runs from 17 h 1 min at midsummer to 7 h 29 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:03 in mid-April and 4:31 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
