The Bristol Christmas Count was conducted Dec. 29, 2013. Rainy weather had
an influence on the outcome. There were 78 total species recorded. This
was the first time the count had been below 80 species since 1996. Only
one individual was recorded for fourteen species. So the species count
could have been a lot less.
The most unusual thing about the count was the number of Ring-billed Gulls,
3418. This was a new high count for this species for the Bristol count.
Thanks to everyone for their participation.
