"A new species of seabird has been found. A five-person multi-national expedition led by British seabird expert Peter Harrison, captured 12 of the mystery storm-petrels at sea near Puerto Montt, Chile on February 18, 19, and 21, and can now confirm the existence of a new species. This tiny black and white seabird belongs to a group of seabirds known as storm-petrels which appear to dance on the water, pushing off with webbed feet on long legs and wings spread, they are able to gather small food items from the surface of the water. “These birds are likely to be a completely new species, as they are so different from any other storm petrels we know,” says Harrison. “There are just 22 known storm-petrels world wide.” Harrison has been researching seabirds world-wide for many years.
