info

There were not many opportunities to take pictures of the sooty shearwater during my see trips in the Atlantic. It is slightly smaller than Cory’s and great shearwater. Its wingspan reaches of about one meter and it weighs about 0.8 kg. While it is winter in Europe  sooty shearwaters nest in the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand, south regions of South America), and in summer they can be found in the North Atlantic and the Pacific. We succeeded.
