This year, on June 20th, the sun rose at 6:01 DST am and set at 9:23 pm.
15:22:26 hours of daylight.

Here's a source to find it for your area.

Lots of information, not just sunrise/sunset.

Wow, I find your sunrise and sunset times very interesting, especially the sunset time.

If I may, does the sunset time effect the poultry and wildlife in any significant way that is worth noting?

And, where you are, are birds still singing at 9 o'clock in the evening when they roost down?

Here the birds start singing their morning song at between 4:30 and 5 o'clock in the morning. I also hear cockerels in the neighbouring farmlands crowing at that time too.

18 hours and 29 minutes.

Sunrise at 4am.

Nautical twilight is the darkest it ever gets for around ten weeks of summer. You can sit outside all night and read if the sky is clear.

Big wow, I never thought of Scotland as being affected by the nautical twilight, but now that you have brought it to my attention (thank you for the interesting information) it does make logical sense.

If I may, does the nautical twilight in your parts effect the poultry and wildlife in any significant way that is worth noting?
So, what time do cockerels start crowing in the morning?
