The Barolo Shearwater is a small, graceful seabird found in the Atlantic Ocean, often distinguished by its rapid, agile flight. It is named after the island of Barolo in the Cape Verde archipelago.
Where to spot
Breeds on islands in the North Atlantic, including the Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. Disperses across the central and eastern North Atlantic during non-breeding periods.
How to spot
Requires pelagic boat trips in its Atlantic range. Look for its small size, dark upperparts, and clean white underparts. Pay attention to its fast, agile flight, often described as 'whirring' wingbeats, and consider its specific Atlantic distribution.
When to spot
Breeding typically occurs from late winter to early summer. Can be observed pelagically year-round within its oceanic range, though best during migration periods.

This species was formerly considered a subspecies of the Little Shearwater, but genetic and morphological differences have led to its recognition as a distinct species.
