What the records say about Worlaby
127 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Worlaby (North Lincolnshire) since 2010, across 1,277 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon and Common Buzzard.
The records split between garden birds (56%) and waterbirds (27%), so a feeder in Worlaby sees the familiar Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon and Yellowhammer, while Mallard and others turn up on nearby water.
13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Eurasian Marsh-Harrier.
Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 24.3 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.
