(Bulweria bulwerii)

Name in English: Bulwer’s Petrel
Name in Spanish: Petrel de Bulwer
Name in German: Bulwer Sturmvogel
Size: 25-29 cm in length; 67-73 cm wingspan (with open wings)

Distribution and habitat: The Bulwer’s petrel is a pantropical species and can be found in all three oceans (Atlantic, Pacific and Indian) outside of the breeding season. It is a marine and highly pelagic species. For that reason, it is most often found far from the coast, except during the nesting season. The breeding season runs from April to November, colonies forming on the coasts of the islands.

Descripción: A small seabird with the size and appearance somewhere between a petrel and a shearwater, it is entirely dark in color. Breeding colonies occur on rocks, in crevices and caves, under debris, and on cliffs, which are accessed at night. They are scarce and in decline.
