The photo I posted earlier I have reliably been informed was not a Zino's but a Black Capped Petrel.


On the Island of Madeira just off the North African Coast there is an endemic petrel called the Zino's Petrel. Here is a link to Madeira Wind Birds description of the bird.

There have been forest fires which have killed several breeding adults and as much as 65% of this years chicks. Birdlife International and SPEA(Birdlife in Portugal) are looking to raise funds as quickly as possible in order to carry out emergency conservation work.
