What the records say about Brinklow

120 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Brinklow (Warwickshire) since 2010, across 5,447 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Lesser Black-backed Gull, Woodpigeon and Blackbird.

Water shapes this list. 52% of records near Brinklow are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Lesser Black-backed Gull, Mallard and Mute Swan lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Woodpigeon is still the most logged garden bird.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Common Kestrel.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 8.2 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.
