Wistaston Wildlife.

A list of local birds seen by, or reported to, David O'Hara throughout the year is compiled by David as a spreadsheet. Results for 2025 are now ready to download. The spreadsheet also contains a list of Butterflies seen in the area.

I have taken data from David's 2025 spreadsheet and produced an abbreviated list of bird names that can be read as a web page; for those who don't like, or can't access, spreadsheets.

You can report any out-of-the-ordinary sightings to David O'Hara. Trevor & Hilary Clowes also produce an article of recorded sightings for the Roundabout Magazine. (opens a new window).

Below is a list of some of the birds you might see as you walk around the local area, and quite a few will be seen in your gardens. Various Geese and Swans can sometimes be seen, or heard, flying overhead. Possibly between Sandbach Flashes, Crewe Park and Nantwich Lake. Various wildfowl and waterbirds have been seen in the brook on occassion but not in large numbers or very often.
