Abstract

The article examines the population of birds living in Lundy Island that is situated in the mouth of the Bristol Channel. The island, accordingly, is divided into four distinct vegetation. From June 7-11, 1930, the island has become the subject of bird census because it was perceived that the area could provide a more reliable information about the bird's various species. Results reveal that the island nurtures a number of birds including raven, carrion crow, magpie, house sparrow, skylark, rock pipit, yellow wagtail, and willow warbler. The total number of pairs of land birds has also found to be about 630. The number of larger birds like raven, peregrine, kestrel and buzzard, has likewise allegedly remained constant.
