Hi Guy,Thank you so much for your information below. I have just shot an email
off to Dick Watling querying if any Pterodroma or other tubenoses breed on the
islands of Va'vau, other than Black-winged Petrels. Would love to spend a
couple of hours with a researcher on a tubenose project if it was possible
while I am there. Particularly if there are Phoenix or Polynesian Storm
Petrels breeding somewhere on the islands.Cheers,Inger Inger Vandyke Natural
