astronomy-to-zoology:Great Shearwater (Puffinus gravis)…a large species of shearwater (Procellariidae) that breeds throughout the South Atlantic on Nightingale and many other Islands. Outside the breeding season great shearwaters will migrate along the east coast of South America north to the North Atlantic, where it winters in the Arctic circle. Like other procellariiform birds P. gravis is pelagic (spends most of it live at sea) and feeds mainly on fish, squid and crustaceans which are caught by plunge diving.ClassificationAnimalia-Chordata-Aves-Procellariiformes-Procellariidae-Puffinus-P. gravisImages: Patrick Coin and JJ Harrison -- source link
