Scopoli's Shearwater campaign

The annual campaign on the ecology of  the Scopoli's Shearwater Calonectris diomedea has started with the first breeding pairs at the colony. We will assess laying date, breeding success and collect individual data on presence-absence of marked birds. The hard work will end in September, when the newborns will leave for their first trans-equatorial migration. Check the publications by the GEP to learn more on this incredible bird here .
