What the records say about Kirton in Lindsey
105 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Kirton in Lindsey (North Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 882 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Jackdaw.
Kirton in Lindsey is a garden-bird place: 68% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blackbird, Jackdaw and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Barn Owl. 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 May and are lowest in October — about 20.9 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.
Northorpe, 4 km to the west, has more species on record (113 against 105). Birds logged far more often around Kirton in Lindsey than there include House Martin.
