What the records say about Llandrindod Wells

111 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Llandrindod Wells (Sir Powys) since 2010, across 10,142 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are House Sparrow, Blackbird and Carrion Crow.

Llandrindod Wells is a garden-bird place: 78% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. House Sparrow, Blackbird, Carrion Crow and Jackdaw make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Tawny Owl.

Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 23.9 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.

Newbridge on Wye, 5 km to the south-west, has fewer species on record (91 against 111). Birds logged far more often around Llandrindod Wells than there include Mallard, Mute Swan, Common Moorhen and Eurasian Coot.

At about 216 m above sea level, Llandrindod Wells sits higher than most places in Sir Powys. Spring arrives a little later with height, and feeders matter more in cold snaps — keep a supply of high-fat food going through late winter.

Daylight runs from 16 h 47 min at midsummer to 7 h 42 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:18 in mid-April and 4:51 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
