Abstract: The Cory's shearwater Calonectris diomedea breeds along suitable sea-cliffs on Malta and Gozo and on Filfla. It has not been recorded breeding in any of the other Maltese islands forming the Maltese Archipelago. Searches in suitable sites on Comino and Cominotto resulted in locating Manx Shearwater Puffinus puffinus yelkouan but not the Cory's Shearwater. Hagret il-General, popularly known as the Fungus Rock, was visited on 26 May 1988 to photograph the endemic lizard Podarcis filfolensis generalensis and the famed 'Malta Fungus' Cynomorium coccineum.
