BirdTrack stats for June 2017
13 Jul 2017
Early summer may feel like a quiet time for birding, but bird activity and migration is in full swing, and of course, BirdTrack records continue to flood in. In June, a total of 386,253 records were logged by 2,500 observers. This amounted to a total recording effort of around 28,000 hours based on lists submitted with a start and an end time.
At least 310 species were recorded on BirdTrack in Britain and Ireland last month, with the top ten species listed below.
| Species | Records |
| Woodpigeon | 12,353 |
| Carrion Crow | 9,977 |
| Wren | 9,609 |
| Chaffinch | 8.846 |
| Robin | 8,732 |
| Goldfinch | 8,473 |
| Swallow | 7,913 |
| Jackdaw | 7,856 |
| Blue Tit | 7,842 |
| Magpie | 7,831 |
Amazingly, Jackdaw, Blue Tit and Magpie were seperated by just 25 records. Looking further down the rankings at summer migrants, a total of 7,000 Swift, 1,600 Cuckoo and 491 Turtle Dove records. Three BirdTrackers managed to record the Black-browed Albatross visiting a number of locations in northeast England and southern England.
