What the records say about Ewerby
123 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Ewerby (Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 8,937 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Goldfinch.
Ewerby is a garden-bird place: 77% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blackbird, Goldfinch 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, Common Kestrel and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. 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 April and are lowest in August — about 4.3 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.
Heckington, 4 km to the south-east, has fewer species on record (75 against 123). Birds logged far more often around Ewerby than there include Mallard, Chiffchaff, Song Thrush and Coal Tit.
Daylight runs from 16 h 56 min at midsummer to 7 h 34 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:04 in mid-April and 4:34 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
