The Wrong Petrel in Newsletter

Yesterday, I sent a newsletter about the bird fair. On the photo it was a Petrel that I referenced as Zino's Petrel, in fact was a Pterodroma feae from Desertas Islands. It was a test to see how many of you birdwatchers out there would get it right and immediately pointed that to us. After 24 hours only one got it right of roughly fourteen thousand. Soon we will post pictures of Zino's Petrels in our website. And sorry if I cause any embarrassment, though next year you can join us on quest for Zino's Petrels.

Selvagens Islands – a sea bird's paradise

Madeira Wind Birds will be present at the British Birdwacthing Fair next weekend, 15th, 16th and 17th of August 2008, by Hugo Romano and Catarina Fagundes. We will not have a stand though we will make a lecture on Saturday at 3 pm in the Lecture Marquee 1, about Selvagens Islands. This presentation aims to be an introduction to these Portuguese Islands where in the past hunting killed an average of 20,000 Cory's Shearwaters annually, its history and natural value and what is being done for its conservation. "Selvagens Islands - a seabirds paradise!" do not miss this on Saturday!
