Water shapes this list. 40% of records near Warrenpoint are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Eurasian Oystercatcher, Black-headed Gull and European Herring Gull lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Hooded Crow is still the most logged garden bird.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard.

Records peak in June and are lowest in December — about 7.6 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.
