During my trip to Selvagem last August we saw good numbers of Bulwer's Petrel, or how Portuguese sailors used to call them: "Black Soul". They are swift and restless birds, that navigate above the oceans while feeding on the surface.

What a great picture you've taken of this very rare Gallery visitor.

We don't currently have a picture on the Opus article, so I'll check out the other two and decide which is best to use.

Many thanks Yeray - could you confirm it was August 2014 that you took the image.
