We report on the breeding of several individuals of Atlantic Cory’s Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea borealis) in a small colony of Mediterranean Cory’s Shearwater (C. d. diomedea) in the western Mediterranean (Columbretes Islands, northeastern Spain). We briefly discuss the potential role of Atlantic Cory’s Shearwaters in gene flow at small and declining Mediterranean colonies.
