What the records say about Pinkneys Green
140 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Pinkneys Green (Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead) since 2010, across 16,903 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Red Kite, Woodpigeon and Robin.
The records split between garden birds (57%) and waterbirds (28%), so a feeder in Pinkneys Green sees the familiar Woodpigeon, Robin and Carrion Crow, while Mallard and others turn up on nearby water.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel. 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 May and are lowest in December — about 4.5 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.
Maidenhead, 3 km to the east, has more species on record (157 against 140).
Daylight runs from 16 h 39 min at midsummer to 7 h 49 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:09 in mid-April and 4:44 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
