Why it matters
The Desertas Petrel is a rare gadfly petrel endemic to the Desertas Islands off the coast of Madeira, where it nests in rocky crevices. Prized by ornithologists for its specialized pelagic lifestyle, this bird is defined by its masterful soaring flight and pointed tail, which allow it to navigate vast distances across the open ocean.
