A very common bird in Europe, it was still a treat to see for us as visitors. This bird is from the place we stayed in Calvi, Corsica, which appropriately was called La Merula. The female is a lighter brown and has a less prominent yellow eye ring.

Yelkouan Shearwater, Puffinus yelkouan
Yelkouan Shearwater, Puffinus yelkouan
The Yelkouan Shearwater, Puffinus yelkouan is found primarily in the Mediterranean Sea. After it was split from the Manx Shearwater it became known as the Mediterranean Shearwater. After a subsequent split with the Balearic Shearwater, it gained its present name. This is one of a dozen birds we saw on a boat trip from Corsica, and they were surprisingly close to shore.
It was downgraded to Near Threatened in 2008 after studies showed a population that was lower than had been thought.
