The Manx shearwater is the largest of the three, and looks like a small black and white fulmar (to which it is, of course, related).

It was intermediate in size between the Manx Shearwater and the Little Shearwater.

He made a twelve-year study of shearwaters such as the Manx shearwater, living on the remote island of Skokholm.

The Manx Shearwater, Puffinus puffinus, as a species of world-wide distribution.

The Manx Shearwater, like many other seabirds, visits its breeding colonies at night to reduce the chances of attack by aerial predators.

We only saw the adult shearwaters at sea and they looked a bit like a small Manx shearwater, but with a brownish tinge to the upper parts.

It can be confused with the Manx Shearwater (P. puffinus), which has white undertail coverts and in direct comparison a longer bill.

The scientific name for a Manx Shearwater (forfeit: puffin) is Puffinus puffinus.

It is silent at sea, but at night the breeding colonies are alive with raucous cackling calls, higher pitched than the Manx Shearwater's.

The seabird survey in 2000 also recorded 34 occupied nests of Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus).

Its breeding bird colonies include puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, cormorants, shags, and the burrow-breeding Manx shearwater.

The Manx Shearwater feeds on small fish (particularly herring, sprat and sardines), crustaceans, cephalopods and surface offal.

It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Manx Shearwater; see there for more on the Puffinus puffinus superspecies.

The seabird Manx shearwater Puffinus puffinus is the only bird that has a name relating to the Isle of Man.

The coasts and surrounding islands are home to colonies of gannets, Manx Shearwater, puffins, kittiwakes, shags and razorbills.

Manx Shearwater Puffinus puffinus (Scraayl)

The Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) is a medium-sized shearwater in the seabird family Procellariidae.

A Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) originally ringed on 17 May 1957 at Bardsley Bird Observatory has bred each summer on the island ever since.

It was later included by some authors in the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) as was Townsend's Shearwater (Puffinus auricularis).

It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) and is now often placed in Townsend's Shearwater (Puffinus auricularis).

The name puffin - puffed in the sense of swollen - was originally applied to the fatty salted meat of young birds of the unrelated species Manx Shearwater, Puffinus puffinus.

Lockley's experiments with Manx shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus) showed that when released "under a clear sky" far from their nests (in Skokholm), the seabirds first oriented themselves and then "flew off in a direct line for Skokholm", making the journey rapidly.

The first breeding record of the manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) in North America was discovered when a nest containing a chick was found here in 1973, the first time this species had been found nesting on the western side of the North Atlantic.
