What the records say about Cosheston
157 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Cosheston (Pembrokeshire) since 2010, across 5,742 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blackbird, European Herring Gull and Jackdaw.
The records split between garden birds (59%) and waterbirds (37%), so a feeder in Cosheston sees the familiar Blackbird, Jackdaw and Robin, while European Herring Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Osprey.
Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 5.1 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.
Lamphey, 4 km to the south, has fewer species on record (145 against 157).
Daylight runs from 16 h 41 min at midsummer to 7 h 48 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:25 in mid-April and 5:00 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
