What the records say about Partridge Green
162 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Partridge Green (West Sussex) since 2010, across 42,576 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are White Stork, Woodpigeon and Robin.
Partridge Green is a garden-bird place: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Robin, Blackbird and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Common Kestrel. 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 January — about 8.7 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.
Ashurst, 3 km to the south, has fewer species on record (155 against 162). Birds logged far more often around Partridge Green than there include Great Crested Grebe.
Daylight runs from 16 h 33 min at midsummer to 7 h 55 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 in mid-April and 4:46 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
