What the records say about Sedgeberrow
107 bird species have been recorded within 5 km of the centre of Sedgeberrow (Worcestershire) since 2010, across 2,208 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Robin.
Sedgeberrow is a garden-bird place: 72% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and garden trees. Woodpigeon, Blackbird, Robin and Carrion Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red Kite, Common Buzzard and Eurasian Sparrowhawk. 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 January 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.
Evesham, 5 km to the north, has a similar number of species on record (111 against 107).
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.
