What the records say about Pershore
144 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Pershore (Worcestershire) since 2010, across 18,417 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Lesser Black-backed Gull, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow.
Pershore is a garden-bird place: 64% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Blackbird and Blue Tit make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Common Buzzard and Common Kestrel.
Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 2.6 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.
Fladbury, 5 km to the east, has fewer species on record (135 against 144).
Daylight runs from 16 h 45 min at midsummer to 7 h 44 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.
