What the records say about Blyton
94 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Blyton (Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 1,409 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Lesser Black-backed Gull, Coal Tit and Carrion Crow.
Blyton 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. Coal Tit, Carrion Crow, Great Tit and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
7 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Tawny Owl. 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 May and are lowest in November — about 233.0 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.
Corringham, 4 km to the south-east, has fewer species on record (76 against 94). Birds logged far more often around Blyton than there include Coal Tit, Carrion Crow, Great Tit and Blue Tit.
Daylight runs from 17 h 2 min at midsummer to 7 h 29 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:05 in mid-April and 4:33 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
