Given our results we recommend gathering more data before concluded whether these taxa should be treated as two species or subspecies.

[Calonectris (diomedea) borealis is recognised as a distinct species by H&M4, IOC, BOURC and CSNA/DBA; but not by BirdLife, eBird/Clements, AERC TAC or AOU NACC/SACC.]

Too bad they didn't include edwarsii.

Great news and so unusual! Thanks RK, I had no idea.
Maybe this is a pay-off for all the work done around them in the Portuguese islands
Portuguese mainland next?

Skelligs, Blasket Islands, or Scilly, next?
