What the records say about Bramcote
222 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Bramcote (Nottinghamshire) since 2010, across 179,688 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Magpie.
Water shapes this list. 45% of records near Bramcote are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Mallard, Mute Swan and Canada Goose lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Woodpigeon is still the most logged garden bird.
16 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard.
Records peak in April and are lowest in November — about 2.3 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.
Long Eaton, 4 km to the south, has more species on record (230 against 222).
Daylight runs from 16 h 55 min at midsummer to 7 h 35 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 in mid-April and 4:38 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
