Storm Petrels  (updated 30/06/2017)

Storm petrels are probably one of the most reliable birds to get controls and our catches tend to be roughly one control per every 20 new birds caught.  As of the end of the 2016, we have controlled 37 birds and a further 31 of our birds have been recovered elsewhere.
