What the records say about Llangynidr

Llangynidr is a garden-bird place: 67% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blue Tit, European Pied Flycatcher, Great Tit and Jackdaw make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite and Common Buzzard.
Records peak in May and are lowest in August — about 4.1 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.
Crickhowell, 6 km to the east, has fewer species on record (142 against 152). Birds logged far more often around Llangynidr than there include European Pied Flycatcher, Tufted Duck, Eurasian Coot and European Herring Gull.
