What the records say about Comrie
111 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Comrie (Perth and Kinross) since 2010, across 2,751 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Red Kite, Chaffinch and Woodpigeon.
Comrie is a garden-bird place: 77% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Chaffinch, Woodpigeon, Robin and Jackdaw make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Tawny Owl.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 14.7 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.
Crieff, 9 km to the east, has a similar number of species on record (114 against 111). Birds logged far more often around Comrie than there include Red Kite and Meadow Pipit.
Daylight runs from 17 h 43 min at midsummer to 6 h 52 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:11 in mid-April and 4:25 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
