Description

V Expedição Científica do Departamento de Biologia – Santa Maria e Formigas 1990. Preliminary observations were made in relation to preparation for a joint University of Glasgow/Universidade do Algarve expedition to the Azores, in August/September, 1990, to study the diet, feeding ecology and colony attendance patterns of the Cagarro or Cory's shearwater Calonectris diomedea. A search was made for breeding colonies suitable for detailed studies, and observations were made on the distribution of birds at sea and on rafting behaviour.
