a new species of Storm-Petrel. Discovered by Seamus Enright and Michael O'Keefe off the coast of Chile in 2009 it has just been declared a new species. DNA samples and feathers have just been 'recovered' from birds recently caught and, once completed, the next step will be to find out more about these birds.
