What the records say about Hibaldstow
101 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Hibaldstow (North Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 2,814 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Jackdaw.
Hibaldstow is a garden-bird place: 80% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
7 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 November and are lowest in July — about 4.1 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.
Scawby, 3 km to the north-west, has more species on record (135 against 101).
Daylight runs from 17 h 3 min at midsummer to 7 h 28 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:04 in mid-April and 4:32 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
