What the records say about Brundall
227 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Brundall (Norfolk) since 2010, across 119,285 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Blue Tit.
The records split between garden birds (51%) and waterbirds (38%), so a feeder in Brundall sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Robin and Blue Tit, while Mallard and others turn up on nearby water.
19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Eurasian Marsh-Harrier, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 2.7 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.
