Off the coast of Lima, there are incredible sea birds to be found. Among the possibilities are Shy (Salvin's, White-capped and Chatham Island), Waved, Black-browed, Grey-headed and Buller's Albatrosses, Markham's, Ringed, White-vented and Polynesian Storm-Petrels, Chilean, Antarctic and Brown Skuas and Cape Petrel. Peruvian Diving-Petrel is common. There is likely to be something new and exciting each trip; Royal Albatross or Juan Fernandez Petrel are two species expected to be recorded. |
