Balearic Shearwater :: Puffinus mauretanicus
Bad at Goodbyes :: Episode 085

On today’s show we learn about the Balearic Shearwater, a critically endangered migratory seabird who breeds on the Balearic Islands, a Spanish archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea, and who in the non-breeding season migrates to coastlines across Western Europe and North Africa. Its scientific name is Puffinus mauretanicus and it was first described in 1921.
