What the records say about Habrough

121 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Habrough (North East Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 2,563 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Swift.

Habrough is a garden-bird place: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blackbird, Robin and Dunnock make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. A hawk that hunts feeder birds is among them, so set feeders 2–3 metres from shrubs: close enough for cover, far enough that a cat can't ambush from it.

Records peak in June and are lowest in December — about 37.4 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.

Immingham, 3 km to the east, has more species on record (149 against 121).

Daylight runs from 17 h 4 min at midsummer to 7 h 27 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:03 in mid-April and 4:30 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
