What the records say about Worlingworth

90 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Worlingworth (Suffolk) since 2010, across 2,508 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Lesser Black-backed Gull, Barn Owl and House Sparrow.

Worlingworth is a garden-bird place: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. House Sparrow, Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Stock Dove make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Barn Owl, Common Buzzard 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 April and are lowest in November — about 15.0 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.

Stradbroke, 6 km to the north, has a similar number of species on record (88 against 90).

Daylight runs from 16 h 47 min at midsummer to 7 h 42 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:59 in mid-April and 4:32 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
