Bermuda Petrel returns to Nonsuch Island after 400 years
By Charlie • March 24, 2008 • No comments yetExcellent news from Birdlife re the Bermuda Petrel or Cahow. Thought extinct for almost 300 years 18 pairs were rediscovered breeding on sub-optimal rocky islets in 1951. Birds were moved to Nonsuch, and in the last four years a total of 81 chicks have been translocated, of which 79 have fledged successfully and adult petrels have now been observed entering artificial nesting burrows.
