What the records say about Llangwm
133 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llangwm (Pembrokeshire) since 2010, across 2,570 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Canada Goose, Robin and Blackbird.
Water shapes this list. 45% of records near Llangwm are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Canada Goose, European Herring Gull and Mallard lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Robin is still the most logged garden bird.
8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Osprey.
Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 5.6 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.
Johnston, 6 km to the west, has fewer species on record (114 against 133).
Daylight runs from 16 h 41 min at midsummer to 7 h 47 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.
