distribution
breeds on the Malvinas / Falklands, Tristan da Cunha and Gough (November to April) in southern Atlantic waters (Carboneras, 1992 c). Its transequatorial migration begins in April and it returns to the colony in September (Harrison, 1983). This species comes near the Brazilian coast between April and May, when it is flying from the south to the north (Sick, 1997). It is recorded for the northeastern region of Brazil between May and June (Carboneras, 1992 c), and for RS in August, October and November, as well as March and May (Petry et al., 2008). Most records are from April to July for the southern and southeastern regions, but there are also records for BA (WikiAves, 2016; MNRJ; MZUSP).
