Abstract
The current estimate of the number of breeding pairs of Great-winged Petrels Pterodroma macroptera on Tristan Island is 1,000 or less. In the last few hours of daylight on 11 April 2018 we observed large numbers of Great-winged Petrels off the southeast coast of Tristan Island and estimated from this a breeding population of 3,000-4,000 pairs. This article details the initial observation and the method used to derive the estimate of the number of breeding pairs.
