Storm petrels (Hydrobates pelagicus) at sea, 19th-century artwork. This seabird spends most of the year at sea in northern Atlantic waters, feeding in flight on plankton at the water's surface, though it is also known to follow ships. It is a strictly nocturnal breeder (to avoid predation), forming colonies on islands in the northern Atlantic and western Mediterranean. Lithograph from volume 3 (1877) of the 9-volume 'The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne' (1875-1880).
