What the records say about Fazakerley
151 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Fazakerley (Liverpool) since 2010, across 23,754 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Magpie and Blackbird.
Fazakerley is a garden-bird place: 68% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Magpie, Blackbird and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Eurasian Sparrowhawk and Common Kestrel. 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 September — about 5.9 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.
Kirkby, 3 km to the north-east, has a similar number of species on record (147 against 151). Birds logged far more often around Fazakerley than there include Eurasian Coot, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe and Great Cormorant.
Daylight runs from 17 h 2 min at midsummer to 7 h 29 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.
