About These Birds

New Caledonian Storm-petrel

New Caledonian Storm-petrel, 18–20 cm, is an extremely poorly known species recorded only from around New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific. Until recently unconfirmed as a breeding species; a small colony was found in 2021. Morphology similar to Black-bellied Storm-petrel; conservation status under review.

Grey-backed Storm-petrel

Grey-backed Storm-petrel, 16–19 cm, breeds on sub-Antarctic islands across the Southern Ocean from Tristan da Cunha to the Antipodes. Pale grey back and rump distinguishes it from most other storm-petrels. Planktivore; flutters low over the sea surface picking up zooplankton.
