(1-4) A Coruña. FOUR birds were seen flying W on 5.9 from Estaca de Bares cape, A Coruña. 4th year in-a-row it's seen from there (Daniel López Velasco, Ricardo Hevia, Dave McAdams, Alberto Savijn). According to Spanish RC member Daniel López, one bird (shown below in a collage, click on the image to see a larger sized version -opens in another browser window-), one of the birds is best named 'Zino's/Fea's/Deserta's petrel since its characteristics would recall Pterodroma madeira rather than a feae/desertas.It showed extensive white on the underwing coverts, well visible by all observers in the field, a feature more associated with P.madeira, but also shown by a minority of P.'deserta'. It was structurally light built as well as relatively small in comparison with Puffinus puffinus also seen. The other three were darker below.
