What the records say about Peopleton
123 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Peopleton (Worcestershire) since 2010, across 12,769 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Lesser Black-backed Gull, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow.
Peopleton is a garden-bird place: 67% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Blue Tit and Magpie make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
10 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel and Red Kite.
Records peak in April and are lowest in August — about 2.2 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.
Pershore, 5 km to the south, has more species on record (144 against 123).
Daylight runs from 16 h 46 min at midsummer to 7 h 43 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:13 in mid-April and 4:46 in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
