What the records say about Studley
121 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Studley (Warwickshire) since 2010, across 7,315 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Magpie and Robin.
Studley is a garden-bird place: 62% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Magpie, Robin and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
11 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 January and are lowest in November — about 3.4 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.
Astwood Bank, 3 km to the west, has fewer species on record (101 against 121). Birds logged far more often around Studley than there include Mute Swan, Graylag Goose, Great Crested Grebe and Eurasian Coot.
Daylight runs from 16 h 47 min at midsummer to 7 h 42 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 in mid-April and 4:45 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
