Albatrosses And Petrels Across The World: Procellariidae

Albatrosses And Petrels Across The World: Procellariidae
de Michael Brooke(Ed. Oxford University Press) Isbn : 0198501250
129.94 €
Visiting all the world's seas, the 125 species of albatross and petrel are the most oceanic and widespread of all seabirds. The nesting islands tenanted by these remarkable birds include some of the remotest atolls and some of the bleakest ice-bound Antarctic islands on the planet.

He considers why Short-tailed Shearwaters nesting off Australia make regular 10,000 km round trips to...
