What the records say about Gosberton

66 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Gosberton (Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 524 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Collared Dove and Blackbird.

Gosberton is a garden-bird place: 78% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Blackbird and Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

7 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Kestrel, Common Buzzard and Tawny Owl.

Records peak in September and are lowest in July — about 17.6 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.

Donington, 5 km to the north-west, has more species on record (88 against 66). Birds logged far more often around Gosberton than there include Collared Dove.

Daylight runs from 16 h 55 min at midsummer to 7 h 35 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.
