| Abstract: | The breeding range of the Manx Shearwater Puffinus puffinus is in the North Atlantic, with the largest colonies found in the British Isles. The majority of the birds migrate to South America; the adults start moving in July followed by the juveniles in September (Cramp and Simmons 1977). Occasionally birds are reported away from their normal route. Up to 9 birds were recovered in Switzerland between 1866 and 1990. All were recovered in September, except one in July (Juillard 1992). |
