The artificial nests of Cory's Shearwater are ready to be occupied

To ensure the success of artificial nest occupation, this new breeding season:


- To improve thermal conditions and prevent water infiltration inside the nest, we built a formwork cement casing around the hole, and a plywood lid lined with waterproof fabric was placed over it.
- To attract Cagarros by smell, we put feathers and droppings, collected last year from natural nests.
- Was also installed the sound system, with the vocalizations of this species.



Now Cagarros can come in!!!
