What the records say about Treeton
209 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Treeton (Rotherham) since 2010, across 52,988 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Lesser Black-backed Gull, Blackbird and Woodpigeon.
Treeton is a garden-bird place: 60% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Robin and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in October — about 2.8 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.
Rotherham, 5 km to the north, has fewer species on record (190 against 209).
Daylight runs from 17 h 1 min at midsummer to 7 h 30 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 in mid-April and 4:36 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
