What the records say about Chapelhall

85 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Chapelhall (North Lanarkshire) since 2010, across 870 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Magpie, Carrion Crow and Rock Pigeon.

Chapelhall is a garden-bird place: 71% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Magpie, Carrion Crow, Rock Pigeon and Jackdaw make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 55.8 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.

Newarthill, 3 km to the south, has more species on record (98 against 85).

Daylight runs from 17 h 35 min at midsummer to 6 h 59 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 in mid-April and 4:29 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
