What the records say about Tytherington
147 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Tytherington (South Gloucestershire) since 2010, across 9,746 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Blue Tit and Blackbird.
Tytherington is a garden-bird place: 77% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Robin, Blue Tit, Blackbird and Woodpigeon make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Common Kestrel. A hawk that hunts feeder birds is among them, so set feeders 2–3 metres from shrubs: close enough for cover, far enough that a cat can't ambush from it.
Records peak in May and are lowest in August — about 4.4 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.
Thornbury, 3 km to the north-west, has more species on record (178 against 147).
Daylight runs from 16 h 40 min at midsummer to 7 h 49 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:15 in mid-April and 4:51 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
