What the records say about Hardwick Village
163 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Hardwick Village (Nottinghamshire) since 2010, across 20,748 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Chaffinch.
Hardwick Village is a garden-bird place: 62% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Robin, Chaffinch and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in March and are lowest in September — about 4.4 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.
Elkesley, 5 km to the east, has fewer species on record (142 against 163). Birds logged far more often around Hardwick Village than there include Canada Goose, Common Merganser, Northern Shoveler and Common Pochard.
Daylight runs from 16 h 60 min at midsummer to 7 h 31 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:06 in mid-April and 4:35 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
