What the records say about Bleasby
164 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Bleasby (Nottinghamshire) since 2010, across 10,733 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow and Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Bleasby is a garden-bird place: 63% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Blackbird and Jackdaw make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 4.2 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.
Southwell, 5 km to the north, has fewer species on record (108 against 164). Birds logged far more often around Bleasby than there include Great Cormorant, Tufted Duck, Eurasian Coot and Mute Swan.
