What the records say about Hullavington

83 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Hullavington (Wiltshire) since 2010, across 880 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Common Buzzard, Woodpigeon and Lesser Black-backed Gull.

Hullavington is a garden-bird place: 68% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow and Rook make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

7 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Red Kite. 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 April and are lowest in November — about 5.0 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.

Sherston, 6 km to the north-west, has a similar number of species on record (83 against 83). Birds logged far more often around Hullavington than there include Lesser Black-backed Gull, Common Pheasant and Common Kestrel.

Daylight runs from 16 h 39 min at midsummer to 7 h 49 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:14 in mid-April and 4:50 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
