Descripción
During winter most sea birds except for the overwintering gulls and terns leave the Canary Islands. Interestingly the Paíño de Madeira breeds in the archipelago during winter, but on inaccessible rocky islands. If you are lucky it can be seen flying out at sea looking for food. In early november it is still possible to find Pardela cenicienta and Pardela de Barolo. During spring and summer these birds can be found regularly as well as others like Paíño de Wilson, Pardela Pichoneta and Petrel de Bulwer
Gulls and terns that can be found are Gaviota Patiamarilla, Gaviota sombría, Charrán Patinegro and occasionly Gaviota de Audouin and Gaviota Cabecinegra

Accesso
The waters around Gran Canaria can of course only be visited by boat. If you don't have a boat or a friend with a boat the best way to explore this locality is either by ferry to another island or by dolphin tour. Some sea birds like Pardela cenicienta follow dolphin pods in hopes of getting some food. Different tours depart from the harbour of Puerto Rico. See links to operators below.
