Wilson's Storm Petrel

• It seems to walk on water: it holds itself aloft on its wings while pattering the surface with its feet to stir up plankton, behaviour that gave the group its English name, petrel, in reference to Saint Peter walking on the waves.
• It is one of the most abundant birds in the world, with tens of millions of individuals, and at the same time one of the least seen: it spends its life on the open sea and only comes ashore at night at Antarctic colonies.
