Nesting of the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus Brünnich, 1764) on the Island of Tenerife (Canary Islands)

Nesting of the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus Brünnich, 1764) on the Island of Tenerife (Canary Islands)

Nesting of the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) on the Island of Tenerife has been confirmed for the first time. A total of seven burrows have been localized on a ledge of a deep ravine in the NW of the island, 3 km inland. Four of them showed definite signs of being occupied whereas the remaining three were abandoned possibly as a result of predation by rats (Rattus rattus). Furthermore, several birds have been heard at other localities during the breeding season thus indicating the posibility of the existence of other colonies still to be discovered.
