What the records say about Weybourne
295 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Weybourne (Norfolk) since 2010, across 124,003 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Black-headed Gull and Jackdaw.
The records split between garden birds (54%) and waterbirds (39%), so a feeder in Weybourne sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Jackdaw and Rook, while Black-headed Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 3.8 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.
Sheringham, 5 km to the east, has fewer species on record (264 against 295). Birds logged far more often around Weybourne than there include Mute Swan, Little Egret, Northern Lapwing and Northern Shoveler.
Daylight runs from 16 h 55 min at midsummer to 7 h 35 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:58 in mid-April and 4:29 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
