What the records say about Jameston
128 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Jameston (Pembrokeshire) since 2010, across 3,738 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are European Herring Gull, Jackdaw and Robin.
Jameston is a garden-bird place: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Jackdaw, Robin, Blackbird and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 69.8 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 west, has more species on record (145 against 128). Birds logged far more often around Jameston than there include Northern Fulmar, Northern Gannet, Razorbill and Common Kestrel.
