What the records say about Coupar Angus
92 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Coupar Angus (Perth and Kinross) since 2010, across 358 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Swift and Carrion Crow.
Coupar Angus is a garden-bird place: 66% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Chaffinch and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
6 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Eurasian Marsh-Harrier and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. A hawk that hunts feeder birds is among them, so set feeders 2–3 metres from shrubs: close enough for cover, far enough that a cat can't ambush from it.
Records peak in June and are lowest in December — about 28.0 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.
Burrelton, 3 km to the south-west, has fewer species on record (83 against 92).
Daylight runs from 17 h 46 min at midsummer to 6 h 49 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 in mid-April and 4:21 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
