What the records say about Weeting
173 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Weeting (Norfolk) since 2010, across 56,079 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow and Blue Tit.
Weeting is a garden-bird place: 76% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Blue Tit and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in March and are lowest in September — about 30.1 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.
Hockwold cum Wilton, 5 km to the west, has more species on record (220 against 173). Birds logged far more often around Weeting than there include Nuthatch, Siskin, Marsh Tit and Treecreeper.
