Pterodroma macgillivrayi (Gray, 1860) |
The Fiji Petrel, Pseudobulweria macgillivrayi, is a small, dark gadfly petrel.
The Fiji Petrel was known from one immature specimen found in 1855 on Gau Island, Fiji. It was rediscovered in 1983, since when there have been a further seven records. This species is classified as critically endangered as it is inferred from the number of records that there is a tiny population confined to a small breeding area.
