What the records say about Bramley
172 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Bramley (Surrey) since 2010, across 123,602 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Blue Tit and Robin.
Bramley is a garden-bird place: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blue Tit, Robin and Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
16 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Red Kite.
Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 2.6 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.
Chilworth, 3 km to the north-east, has fewer species on record (163 against 172).
Daylight runs from 16 h 35 min at midsummer to 7 h 53 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:09 in mid-April and 4:46 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
