1. Little Tinamou
10.4 1 calling SIMLA and 1 elsewhere

3. (Audubon's) shearwater
31.3 3 birds seen from a distance of about 1-1.5km from Galera Point

4. Madeiran Storm-petrel
31.3 Two storm-petrels seen relatively closeby and two further way at Galeta point. The two closeby birds had a square rump, a black tip to the square tail. The black tip was wider than the square white rump. No noticeable extension of the rump patch to the sides. Carpal bar visible faintly (fainter than what expected on a Leach's). The wings were relatively wider and shorter than those of Leach's. One observer noticed short tappering of water, but not for any expended period of time. Legs did not appear to project beyond tail. Feeding flight behaviour quite gentle feeding about. The 2 additional birds were seen in stronger winds, and their flight was very fast, reminiscent of shearwaters. This is the kind of flight that is often attributed to Madeiras' petrels (=Band-rumped Petrel).

5. Brown Booby
30.3 1 immature. Galeta Point. The belly appeared darker than "expected". Brown overall coloration, expect for the white underwings, which had a brown contour folowing the edges of the wing as well as a brown "carpal bar".

17.4 2 WaF in car lights, both at the edge of the runway, almost in the scrubbery. One bird at East end of Southern Runway, close to a house, and the other in the middle of the N edge of the main Northern Runway. I reckon these were short-tailed nighthawks.

98. Rufous Nightjar
17.4 2 singing at Wallerfield. Both also seen to be rather dark birds. If you ask an american what a whip-poor-will sounds like he/she answers "whip-poor-will". Quite similar to what this bird sounds like although my translitteration for rufous nightjar's song is different: (phonetically tsut-tsu-wiiu or in an american way) tsooht-tsoo-wiooh accent on first i of last syllable.

99. White-tailed Nightjar

155. (*) Boat-billed Flycatcher
Had great difficulty with this one... The pictures in the books do not help much, and the rufous amount of Kiskadee varies quite a bit. Also kiskadee has quite a repertoire in his vocabulary. Well, the call turned out to be the most important id. One of kiskadee's calls is a cat-like mew. Although I initially thought that it was BB Flycatcher, it turned out to be quite different: a 1.2-1.5 second long quite weak, but audible "chirri-rir-rir-rir", repeated several times with a pause of 1-4 seconds between the 1.5 second songs. Usually the bird was sitting perched quite high up. After being able to locate the BB flycatcher the shape of the bill (and thr bird) from the side was easy to see. The kiskadee has quite an evenly tapering bill, whereas the BB Flycatcher has a bill which is almost of even thickness all the way to the tip. Only once did I manage to see the bill shape from above! And likewise only once from directly below.
