What the records say about Clunderwen
53 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Clunderwen (Pembrokeshire) since 2010, across 455 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Swift, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Blackbird.
Clunderwen 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, Barn Swallow, Chaffinch and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
5 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. 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 June and are lowest in April — about 69.0 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.
Narberth, 5 km to the south, has more species on record (92 against 53). Birds logged far more often around Clunderwen than there include Swift.
Daylight runs from 16 h 42 min at midsummer to 7 h 46 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:24 in mid-April and 4:59 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
