The records split between garden birds (50%) and waterbirds (39%), so a feeder in Dickleburgh sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Rook and Jackdaw, while Lesser Black-backed Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Red Kite.
