What the records say about Camblesforth
118 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Camblesforth (North Yorkshire) since 2010, across 2,566 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, Blue Tit and Woodpigeon.
Camblesforth is a garden-bird place: 73% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Blue Tit, Woodpigeon and Starling 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 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 April and are lowest in October — about 4.0 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.
Snaith, 4 km to the south, has more species on record (147 against 118). Birds logged far more often around Camblesforth than there include Collared Dove.
Daylight runs from 17 h 5 min at midsummer to 7 h 26 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:05 in mid-April and 4:32 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
