What the records say about Stogursey
153 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Stogursey (Somerset) since 2010, across 3,107 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Carrion Crow, Robin and Woodpigeon.
Stogursey is a garden-bird place: 65% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Carrion Crow, Robin, Woodpigeon and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in February and are lowest in December — about 11.3 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.
Nether Stowey, 3 km to the south, has fewer species on record (129 against 153). Birds logged far more often around Stogursey than there include Common Shelduck, Eurasian Curlew, Eurasian Oystercatcher and Little Egret.
Daylight runs from 16 h 35 min at midsummer to 7 h 53 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:19 in mid-April and 4:56 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
