Claverley is a garden-bird place: 72% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blackbird, Robin and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Tawny Owl and Red Kite.
