Westward range extension of Short-tailed Shearwaters Ardenna tenuirostris in the Southern Ocean
Short-tailed Shearwaters Ardenna tenuirostris are transequatorial migrants that breed at islands in southern Australia and spend the austral winter in the North Pacific. Adults feeding chicks undertake long foraging trips into Antarctic waters (to 70 degrees S) across a broad longitudinal range (mai...

Short-tailed Shearwaters Ardenna tenuirostris are transequatorial migrants that breed at islands in southern Australia and spend the austral winter in the North Pacific. Adults feeding chicks undertake long foraging trips into Antarctic waters (to 70 degrees S) across a broad longitudinal range (mainly 55-180 degrees E). In mid-March 2017, we observed thousands of shearwaters in the vicinity of Bouvetoya (from 55 degrees S 0 degrees E to 50 degrees S 8 degrees E). These observations occurred more than 2000 km west of the documented range of this species, and raise the possibility that some Shorttailed Shearwaters migrate to the North Atlantic Ocean. Further observations are needed to determine whether this is a regular behaviour that has been overlooked in the past due to confusion with Sooty Shearwaters A. grisea, or whether 2017 was an unusual year for Short- tailed Shearwaters. |
