What the records say about Easingwold

88 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Easingwold (North Yorkshire) since 2010, across 730 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Swift, Blackbird and Robin.

Easingwold is a garden-bird place: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Robin, Carrion Crow and Woodpigeon make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

6 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Red Kite. 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 November — about 43.0 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.

Raskelf, 4 km to the west, has more species on record (98 against 88). Birds logged far more often around Easingwold than there include Swift.

Daylight runs from 17 h 11 min at midsummer to 7 h 21 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:05 in mid-April and 4:30 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
