What the records say about Redhill
164 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Redhill (Surrey) since 2010, across 22,224 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Robin, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow.
The records split between garden birds (54%) and waterbirds (39%), so a feeder in Redhill sees the familiar Robin, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow, while Eurasian Coot and others turn up on nearby water.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in January and are lowest in September — about 5.3 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.
Salfords, 4 km to the south, has fewer species on record (140 against 164). Birds logged far more often around Redhill than there include Bank Swallow and Northern Lapwing.
Daylight runs from 16 h 36 min at midsummer to 7 h 52 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 in mid-April and 4:44 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
