What the records say about Warsop
150 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Warsop (Nottinghamshire) since 2010, across 29,424 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow and Robin.
Warsop is a garden-bird place: 71% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Robin and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
15 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 March and are lowest in November — about 6.6 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.
Shirebrook, 4 km to the west, has fewer species on record (120 against 150). Birds logged far more often around Warsop than there include Coal Tit, Common Pheasant, Nuthatch and Jay.
Daylight runs from 16 h 59 min at midsummer to 7 h 32 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 in mid-April and 4:36 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
