What the records say about Endon
133 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Endon (Staffordshire) since 2010, across 12,668 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Robin and Mallard.
Endon is a garden-bird place: 66% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Robin, Blackbird and Magpie make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. 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 April and are lowest in January — about 5.2 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.
Cheddleton, 5 km to the east, has a similar number of species on record (133 against 133). Birds logged far more often around Endon than there include Eurasian Coot, Black-headed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Rock Pigeon.
Daylight runs from 16 h 57 min at midsummer to 7 h 33 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:11 in mid-April and 4:41 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
