What the records say about Llechryd
151 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llechryd (Pembrokeshire) since 2010, across 10,974 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Canada Goose, Robin and European Herring Gull.
Water shapes this list. 43% of records near Llechryd 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.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Red Kite.
Records peak in August and are lowest in February — about 2.6 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.
Cardigan, 4 km to the north-west, has more species on record (177 against 151).
Daylight runs from 16 h 45 min at midsummer to 7 h 44 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:23 in mid-April and 4:57 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
