Beschrijving
During winter most sea birds except for the overwintering gulls and terns leave the Canary Islands. Interestingly the Madeirastormvogeltje 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 Kuhls Pijlstormvogel and Kleine Pijlstormvogel. During spring and summer these birds can be found regularly as well as others like Wilsons Stormvogeltje, Noordse Pijlstormvogel and Bulwers Stormvogel
Gulls and terns that can be found are Geelpootmeeuw, Kleine Mantelmeeuw, Grote Stern and occasionly Audouins Meeuw and Zwartkopmeeuw

Toegang
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 Kuhls Pijlstormvogel follow dolphin pods in hopes of getting some food. Different tours depart from the harbour of Puerto Rico. See links to operators below.
