 Birdwatching Trip Report from Madeira and Porto Santo
Seawatching at Porto Moniz (09:30-12:30, 14:30-17:00; wind NNE 4) was not as good as during previous days: 10 Bulwer’s Petrels, 132 Cory’s Shearwaters, one Sooty Shearwater, 228 Manx Shearwaters, 10 Little Shearwaters and three unidentified skuas.
The breeding population in the Madeira archipelago is estimated at 7500 pairs (Snow and Perrins 1998).
We originally assumed almost all small shearwaters passing Porto Moniz to be Little Shearwaters: the birds appeared small, with fast wing beats, pale faces and with a pale wash on the upperwing.
