Size
23 - 41 cm
Life Expectancy
19 years
Feeding Habits
Barolo Shearwater predominantly consumes fish, squid, and crustaceans, foraging at sea with specialized hunting techniques.
Habitat
Barolo Shearwater primarily inhabit marine environments, often found in offshore and pelagic waters. Their presence is notable near land close to their breeding colonies, which are typically located on oceanic islands and rocky offshore islets. These colonies are situated on cliffs or earthy slopes with sparse vegetation, usually only herbaceous plants, or they nest amongst rocks.
Dite type
Piscivorous
General Info
Distribution Area
The Barolo shearwater occurs in the Macaronesian Islands and breeds on the Azores, Desertas, Selvagens and Canary islands. The largest colony, of 1400 pairs, occurs on the Selvagen Islands.
Species Status
Like other Procellariforms, introduced predators (rats and cats) must be their main threats at breeding colonies. In addition, fledglings are attracted to artificial lights at night during their maiden flights from nests to the sea. On Tenerife, Canary Islands, a decline on the number of birds attracted to lights have been reported, suggesting a population decline on the island.
