What the records say about Kintbury
122 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Kintbury (West Berkshire) since 2010, across 21,269 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Blue Tit, Robin and Woodpigeon.
Kintbury is a garden-bird place: 78% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Blue Tit, Robin, Woodpigeon and Blackbird 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 April and are lowest in October — about 5.5 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.
Hungerford, 5 km to the west, has fewer species on record (114 against 122).
Daylight runs from 16 h 37 min at midsummer to 7 h 51 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 in mid-April and 4:48 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
