For the first time a Swinhoe's Storm Petrel Oceanodroma monorhis was properly documented at sea in Portugal waters. These sighting occurred during the 2nd day, of the 3rd commercial Zino's Petrel Pelagic Expedition on June 3, 2010 off Madeira waters.

Here are the bird records of the 3rd commercial Zino's Petrel Pelagic Expeditionwhich took place from on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of June 2010. Again, it was a success and it is now generally accepted as the Ultimate Western Palearctic Pelagic Expedition:

Zino's Petrel Pterodroma madeira

On our second commercial pelagic trip to observe Zino's petrel and several other petrels, in what is called the ultimate pelagics in the Western Palearctic, these are the seabird species observed:

White-faced Storm-petrel Pelagodroma marina
