What the records say about Dingle
214 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Dingle (Liverpool) since 2010, across 76,046 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Magpie and Rock Pigeon.
Dingle is a garden-bird place: 61% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Magpie, Rock Pigeon and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Common Buzzard and Peregrine Falcon. 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 November — about 2.2 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.
Liverpool, 4 km to the north, has a similar number of species on record (214 against 214).
Daylight runs from 17 h 1 min at midsummer to 7 h 30 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:14 in mid-April and 4:42 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
