The Manx shearwater (*Puffinus puffinus*) is a small seabird known for its long-distance migrations. πΊοΈ These birds breed on islands in the North Atlantic and migrate to South America during the non-breeding season. They have black upperparts and white underparts, making them easy to identify. Manx shearwaters are skilled flyers and divers, feeding on small fish and plankton. They nest in burrows on islands, often returning to the same burrow each year. Think of them as the ultimate travelers of the avian world, racking up frequent flyer miles. βοΈ They are also quite vocal at their nesting sites, especially at night.
