Frigate petrel

The White-faced Storm-petrel breeds on remote islands in the south Atlantic, such as Tristan da Cunha and also Australia and New Zealand. There are north Atlantic colonies on the Cape Verde Islands, Canary Islands and Savage Islands. It nests in colonies close to the sea in rock crevices and lays a single white egg. It spends the rest of the year at sea.

The Frigate petrel is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

storm petrel or frigate petrel was only confirmed as a breeding bird on the Canaries in 1987 with the discovery of a small colony on the islet of Montaña Clara. The colony of between 24 and 30 pairs is sited on the sandy southern half of the island but more may breed inside the caldera and even on the neighbouring islets of Alegranza and La Graciosa and perhaps even on Lobos off northern Fuerteventura.
