About These Birds

Markham's Storm-petrel

Markham's Storm-petrel, 22–23 cm, is a large all-dark storm-petrel breeding in the Atacama Desert of Chile and Peru — one of the few seabirds to nest in desert habitat far from the coast. Poorly known. Near Threatened. Pelagic over the Humboldt Current and cold eastern South Pacific waters.

European Storm-petrel

European Storm-petrel, 14–18 cm, wingspan 36–39 cm, is the smallest seabird in European waters, breeding in burrows and rock crevices on Atlantic islands from Iceland to the Mediterranean. Entirely sooty black with white rump. Strictly nocturnal at colonies. Planktivore; patters over wave surface picking up oil and plankton.
