What the records say about Brynamman

83 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Brynamman (Neath Port Talbot) since 2010, across 893 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are House Sparrow, Robin and Willow Grouse.

Brynamman is a garden-bird place: 81% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. House Sparrow, Robin, Blue Tit and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

6 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard 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 June and are lowest in December — about 9.2 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.

Glanamman, 5 km to the west, has a similar number of species on record (81 against 83). Birds logged far more often around Brynamman than there include Meadow Pipit.

At about 214 m above sea level, Brynamman sits higher than most places in Neath Port Talbot. Spring arrives a little later with height, and feeders matter more in cold snaps — keep a supply of high-fat food going through late winter.

Daylight runs from 16 h 42 min at midsummer to 7 h 47 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:21 in mid-April and 4:55 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
