Azores Birder's Pelagic
This trip is specifically aimed at birders, particularly world and western Palearctic
listers to see the endemic Monteiro’s Petrel and also to explore for other rare
seabirds and local specialities including Swinhoe’s Storm Petrel,
‘Grant’s’ Band-rumped Storm Petrel, Barolo’s Shearwater, Wilson’s Storm Petrel
and other North Atlantic specialities.
There are two options- the full week trip which also includes going to see the
Azores Bullfinch, for those world listers or WP listers who still need that species or
the five day trip which focuses on pelagics only.
