What the records say about Deepcut
137 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Deepcut (Surrey) since 2010, across 14,844 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Magpie and Blue Tit.
Deepcut is a garden-bird place: 74% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Magpie, Blue Tit and Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 4.5 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.
Farnborough, 3 km to the west, has more species on record (160 against 137).
Daylight runs from 16 h 36 min at midsummer to 7 h 52 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.
