3801 : FIRST BREEDING RECORD OF
MACARONESIAN SHEARWATER Puffinus
baroli baroli IN EL HIERRO (CANARY
ISLANDS)
Découverte de la première nidification du “Puffin
macaronésien” à El Hierro ( Iles Canaries).
The segregation between Little Shearwater
Puffinus assimilis and Audubon’s Shearwater P. lherminieri is still questioned. Up to 40 taxa were
described in the lherminieri-assimilis complex,
although recently AUSTIN et al. (2004) proposed only
13 subspecies. According to plumage and external
morphological characteristics, two subspecies of
breeding Little Shearwaters were recorded in the
Macaronesian archipelagos (P. a. baroli in Azores,
Madeira, Selvagens and Canary Islands; and P. a.
boydi in Cape Verde Islands) (CRAMP, 1998).
Mitochondrial DNA analyses demonstrated that the
two taxa were related more to Audubon’s Shearwater,
breeding in the western Atlantic, than any of the other
small shearwaters (AUSTIN et al., 2004). Since 2005
Little Shearwater has been re-named Macaronesian
FIG. 1.– Macaronesian Shearwater Puffinus baroli

size can be appreciated.

Shearwater with P. baroli baroli breeding on the
northern Macaronesian Islands and P. baroli boydi
restricted to the Cape Verde Islands in the south
(SANGSTER et al., 2005). Breeding biology of this
shearwater is not well known, especially in the
Atlantic Ocean (MOUGIN et al., 1992; ZINO &
BISCOITO, 1994). In the Canary Islands, only some
isolated breeding data are available, but, it is
assumed that the majority of laying occurs in January
and February, although later birds could lay on May
(see MARTÍN & LORENZO, 2001). In other areas, the
chronology and total length of the breeding period is
rather variable (SNOW, 1965; WARHAM, 1990;
MOUGIN et al., 1992; BOOTH et al., 2000;
BRETAGNOLLE et al., 2000). At the moment, in this
archipelago, breeding has been confirmed in
Tenerife, La Gomera, Lanzarote and its surrounding
islets of Montaña Clara and Alegranza (MARTÍN &
LORENZO, 2001). In the case of El Hierro, MARTÍN &
HERNÁNDEZ (1985) reported Little Shearwaters nesting in Roques de Salmor (North-East coast), but no
precise evidence was given to prove this breeding
because of inaccessibility of burrows. Furthermore,
MARTÍN & LORENZO (2001) do not specifically mention reproduction data for this island.
During the inspection of a Cory’s Shearwater
Calonectris diomedea colony situated in the south
coast of El Hierro Island (Tacorón) on 19th February
2006, several seabird corpses were found (one
European Storm-Petrel Hydrobates pelagicus, one
C. diomedea, three Yellow-legged Gulls Larus
michahellis and two P. baroli). One Macaronesian
Shearwater was aged as 55-65 days according to the
down developement, wing length (129 mm) and the
duration of fledgling period (GLAUERT, 1946; FIG.
1). These factors indicate that this bird was born in
situ. Taking into account the estimated chick age
(55-65 days) and incubation (52-58 days, GLAUERT,
1946), we can surmise laying date was carried out
before 3rd November 2005.
According to MOUGIN et al. (1992), temperature
apparently plays an important role in the chronology
and the length of the breeding period. Breeding season is spread over six summer months in the coolest
localities, over six winter months in warmer ones,
and over the entire year in the warmest. This fact is
agrees with our discovery due to the south of El

Hierro Island having a higher mean annual temperature of 22º C (MARZOL, 2000). Also, it is interesting
to note that in the Canary Islands P. baroli is present
throughout the year flying at the sea and even visiting their colonies (MARTÍN & LORENZO, 2001) as
occurs in other archipelagos (DUNNET, 1984; ZINO &
BISCOITO, 1994).
In summary, the finding of a P. baroli fledgling
present in mid February constitutes the first reliable
breeding record of this shearwater on El Hierro, and
far as is known, the first outside of the recognised
breeding season in Macaronesia.
