Scopoli's Shearwater

Scopoli's (Cory's) Shearwater (c) Lesvos Wildlife Hospital.

Now here's one of the more unusual finds the Lesvos Wildlife Hospital has to cope with. This Scopoli's Shearwater was found on the beach at Skala Eresou on 20 March. It weighed only 414g (should be 700-800g) and today it weighs 626g, so successful release is expected shortly!
