swinhoe 's storm petrel ( oceanodroma monorhis ) , also known as swinhoe 's petrel , is a small , all-brown seabird of the storm petrel family hydrobatidae .

the scientific name is derived from ancient greek .

hydrobates is from hudro , " water " , and bates , " walker " , and monorhis is from monos , " single " and rhinos , " nostril " .

the size is described as ‘very noticeably smaller than a manx shearwater’ puffinus puffinus . this does not tally with bulwer’s petrel , and perhaps suggests a bird of leach’s storm - petrel oceanodroma leucorhoa ( or swinhoe’s storm - petrel ) size .

in my experience , swinhoe ' s strorm petrel is more fluttering in flight than tristram ' s , while tristram ' s often glides in flight , as sean mentioned . tristram ' s ( and matsudaira ' s ) storm petrels often follow boats , but swinhoe ' s probably does not . bulwer ' s petrel is more similar to

as normally there is no other all - dark petrel or shearwater in the north atlantic , the only species it might be confused with is the rarely seen swinhoe’s storm petrel though bulwer’s petrel is almost twice its size and with a long and not forked tail .
some other features , depending on how interpreted , could point towards bulwer’s petrel but it was unanimously felt that acceptance of this bird as a bulwer’s petrel was no longer justified , particularly with swinhoe’s storm - petrel now known to occur in the north atlantic . indeed there are suggestions that this bird could have been a swinhoe’s storm - petrel , e . g . the size and tail shape , but unfortunately it was felt that there was not enough detail to accept it as such .

both tristram ' s storm petrel and swinhoe ' s storm petrel probably breed on hachijo - ko - jima , about 7 . 5 km west of hachijo - jima . no recent research has been done there , however . on sangan - jima , iwate prefecture , swinhoe ' s storm - petrels stay from late may to early october , so the swinhoe ' s that breed on hachijo - kojima probably return from their wintering area in may too . tristram ' s storm petrels , however , are winter breeders , returning to their breeding ground in november and leaving there in may or june . thus , i think it possible that both swinhoe ' s and tristram ' s storm petrels are among the dark - rumped petrels which are observed near hachijo - jima in mid - and late april , though it is rather more likely tristram ' s than swinhoe ' s .
i agree that matsudaira ' s and tristram ' s storm petrels are likely subject to much confusion . just to clarify , i am not saying swinhoe ' s storm petrel is unlikely to occur off the pacific coast . i am sure that it occurs regularly . what i am taking issue with is its relative abundance compared to tristram ' s . my own feelings are that tristram ' s is probably common and swinhoe ' s is probably scarce to uncommon .

) . although the patterning on the mantle and wings does superficially resemble swinhoe ' s , their size and jizz should separate them . in my limited experience , bulwer ' s is stiffer - winged , more like a shearwater , while swinhoe ' s is more fluttering in flight , with glides in between , like british storm petrel (
at the mediterranean coasts we can also expect to find both swinhoe ' s and willson ' s storm petrels , perhaps only through chumming in various season , but especially in early autumn .
the population size of tristram ' s storm petrel is unclear in japan , but over ten thousand pairs probably breed on tadanae - jima and onbase - jima in the izu islands . very many pairs also breed on kita - no - shima in the bonin islands . some dozens of pairs seem to breed on hachijo - ko - jima . accordingly , the possibility of observing tristram ' s storm petrel seems to be higher than that for swinhoe ' s storm petrel near hachijo - jima .

i have not seen matsudaira ' s , as they are more southerly in distribution , so cannot really comment ; but tristram ' s are much longer - winged than swinhoe ' s and appear to glide more , similar to bulwer ' s , while having comparatively longer , slimmer wings for their body size . i think the main confusion occurs between tristram ' s and matsudaira ' s , and not between tristram ' s and swinhoe ' s , if seen well .

i do not have much experience with bulwer ' s petrel and tristram ' s and swinhoe ' s storm petrels in japan : i have observed each species on 2 or 3 occasions . i understand the difficulty of identifying these birds at speed on a passing ferry , and that distance , light , weather conditions . etc . , all play an important part in identification .
the elongated front end projection gives bulwer’s petrel a unique appearance with a ‘stretched’ neck , but this feature is not reflected in the descriptions , which describe the bird as being ‘virtually identical in shape to a storm - petrel’ hydrobates pelagicus and ‘all wings and tail’ .
if one considers the main breeding range ( sea of japan and yellow sea ) , migration and wintering areas ( via singapore to winter in the indian ocean ) of swinhoe ' s storm petrel , there is not much reason for it to occur commonly off the pacific coast of japan .
the main point i am trying to make is that i think quite a few of the swinhoe ' s storm petrel records off the pacific are likely a result of the perception that it is a common bird there and therefore many people are comfortable in claiming all dark petrels as swinhoe ' s . while it may be true that it is common , i am skeptical of this . it would be nice to see some more formal studies done via high - quality photographs or specimen collection in order to get an unambiguous idea of storm - petrel status off the pacific coast .
up to now this record has been accepted as a bulwer’s petrel , and is the best documented of all claims . the descriptions submitted agree on a number of features . however , some of these no longer support identification as bulwer’s petrel . in particular :
as a result of this review , bulwer’s petrel has been removed from the irish list ( a pdf copy of the irish list is available through the irbc website at urltoken any of these records could refer to a swinhoe’s storm - petrel , which was an unknown identification pitfall , particularly for the earlier claims . any bulwer’s petrel claim should ideally include details of precise flight - style and structure as well as a careful appraisal of size . this can be one of the most difficult aspects to judge correctly and ideally should be in direct comparison with another species .
) , nesting off japan , korea , china , and russia , is so similar it has been considered a race of leach ' s storm - petrel ; the two are appropriately considered a superspecies .
with storm petrels , i think it is easy to fall into the trap of guessing at the species one sees and recording what is supposed to occur . for example , on my first summer ferry trip to hokkaido , i put down all the dark storm - petrels as swinhoe ' s . however , on the return trip , i was able to compare these birds with a few clear - cut leach ' s storm petrels (
leach ' s petrel is the largest storm - petrel likely to occur in the area . the wings are long and usually strongly angled at the carpal ( wrist ) joint , and the tail is quite strongly forked , however , this feature can be difficult to see at any distance .

the description provided did not allow a definite identification to be made . in particular , the quoted size suggests a smaller bird than bulwer’s petrel .
i also saw two much smaller , all - dark petrels from the ferry as we neared tokyo bay quite far north . they were more like band - rumped or british storm petrel in size , and had the obvious paler rump and shoulder markings , similar to a dark british storm petrel . i also ruled out least (
i recorded this call using a songmeter sm2 + automated acoustic recorder during my research on the island . i did not see this animal as these recorders were set to record throughout the night , however i did see and handle these birds during the time there and can confirm this is the call of a swinhoe ' s storm - petrel .
leach ' s storm petrel is scarce in biscay . it was suggested that large numbers of leach ' s petrels must occur in biscay in winter [ 1 ] , this has never been supported by ferry based surveys , which only record small numbers ( < 10 ) between september and november .
swinhoe ' s occurrence in the uk is not really relevant to how common they will be off the pacific coast of japan . obviously many seabirds can occur as vagrants anywhere . the major known swinhoe ' s breeding colony is off russia in the sea of japan , and the japanese population is only estimated at around 1000 pairs ( at least according to

since israel has no real ocean the potential of vagrant storm - petrels from southern ocean is limited . on the other hand , since there is one record of shy albatross thallassarche cauta ( eilat , 1981 ) , one fea ' s petrel pterodroma faea ( dead bird at the dead sea , 1963 ) , one soft - plumage petrel pterodroma mollis ( eilat 1997 in shirihai 1998 ) and two records of atlantic petrel pterodroma incerta ( eilat , 1982 , 1989 ) - species that are not known to climb north in the indian ocean , any species of storm petrel that is seen regularly in southern africa i . e

however , i have to take issue with your supposition that swinhoe ' s is unlikely to occur off the pacific coast . if swinhoe ' s can be caught and ringed on a regular basis off the north sea coast and irish coast in the uk , as well as in the atlantic ocean off portugal and in the eastern mediterranean , what is to preclude their being seen off the pacific coast of japan , with breeding areas so close in the sea of japan ? i do not know of any birds being caught or banded , or of any studies off the pacific coast , but they could possibly occur at as yet undiscovered breeding colonies off the pacific coast , perhaps even with band - rumped or leach ' s storm petrels farther to the north . i think the distribution and habits of swinhoe ' s are still far from well known .

there are still no records of leach ' s or tristram ' s in korean waters—and still only one record of sooty shearwater , suggesting that seabirds in korean waters are still far from being well known . it would be very interesting to hear more of other people ' s experiences with petrels in this region . i also have seen apparently very small , all - dark or blackish petrels two or three times . about 30 % smaller than the swinhoe ' s they were seen near , with a more fluttering flight , they were seen from a commercial ferry in waters between fukuoka and ikinoshima in the summer months in 1991 and 1992 : very young and runty swinhoe ' s , optical illusions , or something else ?

with the better understanding that we have on storm - petrels in israel , 20 years later , it seems more plausible that most of those birds were probably wilson ' s ( as all had a white - rumped ) rather than leach ' s , a view that is shared by shiriahi as well .

swinhoe ' s do sometimes follow boats ( at least , commercial ferries ) , though it seems most often at a 100 - 200 m range . their flight varies , of course , but their most typical flight in fairly calm conditions is rather powerful and graceful , with sudden swerves and banks and arcs ( presumably the manic flight described above ) . the species type they probably most remind me of in flight is oriental pratincole : typically far more confident than the much more fluttering flight of either british or wilson ' s storm petrels , but less powerful than e . g . the larger tristram ' s ( a species with which i have even less experience ) .
molecular evidence revealed that traditional grouping of all storm - petrels in a single family was paraphyletic # r # r ; precise relationships at higher levels within this order are still disputed , but storm - petrels now generally split into two families , comprising “southern” oceanitidae and “northern” hydrobatidae # r .

although swinhoe ' s storm petrel is not a species i am very familiar with ( probably encountered on about 100 days in total over 15 years ) , in south korea it breeds at least in the east sea ( sea of japan ) and in the yellow sea , in the southwest of korea ( on offshore islands ) , off the west coast and very likely at least as far north as off the southwest coast of dprk . it can be encountered especially in august and early september from domestic ferries in korean waters ( personal peak count from one ferry of 159 on september 4th in the yellow sea , 100 - 150 km west of incheon ) ; seen also in the east sea / sea of japan in mid - summer months in both korean and japanese waters . birds are rarely encountered off the dprk - incheon coast into september , but they can still be seen reasonably regularly 400 km south at that time in southwestern waters .
ps ( 4 / 21 ) : generally , bulwer ' s petrels are pretty straightforward to id , so i don ' t think this species is much subject to misidentification .
this record was accepted for a number of years but was deleted from the irish list following the 1988 review ( mullarney 1988 ) . it was seen at close range off cape clear island for a short time . however , there were few details describing flight - style or structure and its estimated size was not consistent with bulwer’s petrel . overall , there was insufficient detail to ascribe this bird to any species .
leach ' s petrels breed in the north pacific where it is abundant ( perhaps as many as 10m pairs ) and the north atlantic ( c 1m pairs mostly north america ) .

despite quite some reservations as to whether the ' expansive ' taxonomy adopted by the guide represents a genuine step forward in our understanding of petrel systematics , i am nonetheless left full of praise for this multi - media extravaganza . it merits attention from all those who love western palearctic birds , seabirds in general , or the north - east atlantic islands in particular . in recalling an encounter with a flock of great shearwaters off western ireland recounted in this book ' s pages , anthony mcgeehan concluded ' a lesson confirming humankind ' s place in evolution : above rodents , below seabirds ' . he might just as well have been describing this book .

views from the hachijojima ferry are usually better than from the larger honshu - hokkaido ferries . many of the darker - rumped petrels i saw near hachijojima remained unidentified , but several i saw close enough to be certain that they were tristram ' s , as they were larger , longer - winged and grey - rumped . they could be differentiated from matsudaira ' s because of their forked tail and lack of white in the wing , as well as by the features mentioned previously .

this seabird is a species of tropical and subtropical waters , ranging from 10º s to 40º n , in northeast atlantic , pacific and indian oceans . in the atlantic it breeds on the canary islands , all madeira archipelago islands and on some islets of cape verde and azores .
similar to the other storm - petrels in the area ; with generally blackish plumage , except for a white rump patch , which is often extensive , rather long and can appear split into two down the centre by a thin band of darker feathering , and only wraps around a short way onto the flanks . the pale band on the inner upperwing is a distinct and broad pale buff grey panel . the underparts are all dark .
records from the last 18 years indicate that the status of some of the species may be different than previously thought . in that aspect i will later relate also to the 8 records of unidentified birds from eilat during 1980 - 90 which were considered in the past as probably leach ' s ( shirihai 96 ' ) and suggest a different view .

. 2010 ) . intense fishing operations near the species’s breeding sites probably result in occasional landing by fishermen , increasing the risk of rats being introduced to other breeding colonies . in addition to anthropogenic threats , rocky islands with shallow soil that are inhabited by the species , such as the kutsujima islands , could suffer severe erosion during a typhoon or other heavy rainfall event , which would probably seriously affect colonies . competition for nesting sites from species such as streaked shearwater
i think that these three species are fairly distinct , if not in terms of plumage , at least in structure and flight pattern . i believe nick ' s comments detailing the flight pattern of observed birds demonstrate the amount of thought that has to go into observing dark petrels in japan . i think that size estimates ( particularly of wingspan ) are very important in the field , and size is usually possible to gauge against nearby streaked shearwaters in japanese waters .
discussions of sonographic minutiae are inevitably hard to convey in the same style as the rest of the book ' s prose , which is refreshingly readable ( rarely can i claim to have truly read a bird book sent for review , but this was one exception that proved the rule ) . it is also mercifully free of typographical or other errors , though the author does make that age - old slip of thinking that birds ( and ships ) pass through the straits of gibraltar , rather than the strait .

it is important to bear in mind that large portion of the incomplete understanding of what ' s hanging out in both eastern mediterranean and red - sea waters is a result of almost complete lack of pelagic cruises , chumming etc . some of the very few ( almost handful ) boat - trips that have taken place ( even for a short time and / or very close to the shore ) resulted in great treasures i . e the first streaked and tropical shearwater to the wp during june 1992 ( shirihai et al . ) or the 3
like all storm - petrels ( as far as is known ) , this species feeds on zooplankton and nekton at the surface of the sea , pecking at individual organisms while hovering , resting briefly on the surface , or , rarely , pattering with wings partly spread . nesting in burrows dug on wooded or treeless islands or in crevices among rocks , individuals return faithfully each year to their colony . as individuals fly about over the colonies at night , they utter a loud chatter call ; in the nest they produce a purring call , often as a duet , for many minutes at a time . like all procellariiformes , this species is long - lived and lays only one egg per year . both sexes incubate and feed the young , which develops slowly and becomes very fat before slimming down to flying weight in the fall .
this species has been uplisted to near threatened on the basis that its population is expected to undergo a moderately rapid decline over the next three generations owing to the impacts of introduced species and human activities , such as mining and tourism .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
hydrobates monorhis ( del hoyo and collar 2014 ) was previously placed in the genus oceanodroma .
justification : this species has been uplisted to near threatened on the basis that its population is expected to undergo a moderately rapid decline over the next three generations owing to the impacts of introduced species and human activities , such as mining and tourism .
( a minimum of 1 , 000 pairs ) . there are little - known populations in
. ( 2010 ) describes the world population at a minimum of 130 , 000 pairs , confirming that the species has a very large population . however , birds korea ( 2010 ) state that c . 100 , 000 pairs nest on gugeul islet , implying that possibly over 75 % of the global population breed on one very small island . the species nests at six or seven breeding islets in south korea ( chang - yong choi
brooke ( 2004 ) estimated the global population to number c . 100 , 000 individuals , while based on boersma & groom ( 1993 ) and birdlife international ( 2009 ) estimates , sato et al . ( 2010 ) describes the world population at a minimum of 130 , 000 pairs ; national population estimates include : c . 100 - 10 , 000 breeding pairs and c . 50 - 1 , 000 individuals on migration in china ; c . 100 - 100 , 000 breeding pairs and c . 50 - 10 , 000 individuals on migration in taiwan ; c . 100 - 100 , 000 breeding pairs and c . 50 - 10 , 000 individuals on migration in korea and c . 100 - 100 , 000 breeding pairs and c . 50 - 10 , 000 individuals on migration in japan ( brazil 2009 ) . trend justification : the population is expected to undergo a moderately rapid decline over the next three generations , owing primarily to the impact of introduced species .
this marine species can be found over pelagic and inshore waters . its feeds mainly on the wing by dipping and does not patter . breeding starts in april forming loose colonies on offshore islands in burrows ( del hoyo
. ( 2010 ) describe threats at breeding sites as including mining operations , introduced predators and tourism . on koyashima , fukuoka ( japan ) , the breeding colony was decimated by accidentally introduced brown rats
and brown rats and is likely to be a source for the accidental introduction of rats to koyashima in the future ( m . takeishi
, that , if tall and dense , prevent birds from entering their burrows ( lee 2010 ) . in addition ,
perish when they fly into the plants and become trapped . although work has been undertaken in the past to remove introduced plants from parts of the island , the problem posed by
now appears to be getting worse ( lee 2010 ) . invasive plants apparently affect all known breeding colonies in south korea ( chang - yong choi
. 2010 and references therein ) . disturbance from tourists visiting gageo island , south korea , is increasingly likely to impact birds nesting on the nearby gugeul islets ( birds korea 2010 ) . furthermore , bentenjima islet , shiriyazaki ( japan ) , has been connected to the mainland to facilitate the mining of limestone , and breeding there is thought to have ceased ( sato
. 2010 ) . threats to the main breeding colony on verkhovsky island include predation by crows corvidae and migrating owls strigidae .
the main colonies in south korea are already dependent on active conservation measures , including the eradication of invasive alien species and prevention of disturbance ( n . moores
. 2011 ) . the main breeding colony on verkhovsky island has been protected since 1984 which has stopped disturbance of nests by tourists .
carry out regular surveys to monitor population trends . implement measures to control invasive species at as many affected colonies as possible . mitigate the impact of tourism at relevant sites . implement and enforce controls on landings by fishing boats .

rausing dithered between the security of the paddocks and the pleasure of seeing the best racehorse she has bred fulfilling its function with a happy result for those who love to see a good athlete in action . if things go to plan she will not be too much out of pocket , either ; the first place prize - money for alborada ' s scheduled races - the nassau , the irish and english champion stakes and one of the top fillies ' races in north america en route to a date with a kentucky stallion - would more than cover costs . a couple more group one victories would equate to an extra nought in the auction rings of the future .
