Abermule 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. Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Robin and Woodpigeon make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Red Kite.
