What the records say about Tibberton
126 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Tibberton (Telford and Wrekin) since 2010, across 3,255 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Carrion Crow.
Tibberton is a garden-bird place: 76% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blackbird, Carrion Crow and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 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 May and are lowest in September — about 18.7 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.
Newport, 7 km to the east, has more species on record (143 against 126). Birds logged far more often around Tibberton than there include Pied Wagtail, Common Linnet, Yellowhammer and Western Yellow Wagtail.
Daylight runs from 16 h 53 min at midsummer to 7 h 36 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:13 in mid-April and 4:44 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
