Madeiran storm petrel!
On a very busy first night for team 3, a Madeiran petrel was ringed by some very tired petrellers... here are some photos of a great bird -only the 3rd Madeiran petrel ringed at Almadena in 19 years of ringing stormies.

The madeiran storm petrel is a rarity for Portugal, except Berlengas and Farilhões!
I already sent the information to the comitee.
Good luck for the rest of the petrel season,
RICARDO Lima.
Thanks Ricardo -Marcial will pass the full details on to you and the rarities committee. Best wishes, Rob.
