Puffinus and cold waters. These tubenose birds fly with stiff wings, and use a shearing flight technique to move across wave fronts with the minimum of active flight. Some small species, such as the Manx shearwater, are cruciform in flight, with their long wings held directly out from their bodies. Many are long-distance migrants, perhaps most spectacularly the sooty and short-tailed shearwaters, which perform migrations of 14,000 km or more each year. "Puffinus" shearwaters come to islands and coastal cliffs only to breed. They are nocturnal at the colonial breeding sites, preferring moonless nights to minimise predation. They nest in burrows
Antipsara is a nesting site of the European shag ("Phalacrocorax aristotelis"), Eleonora's falcon ("Falco eleonorae"), Cory's shearwater ("Calonectris diomedea"), and the yelkouan shearwater ("Puffinus yelkouan"). Antipsara Antipsara () is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Antipsara had 4 inhabitants according to the 2011 census. It lies about west of the larger island Psara, from which its name is derived. Geographic conditions make it inaccessible from the north and west side. Evidence exists of settlement in ancient Greek and Roman times. During the Ottoman rule the island served as a port. Nowadays, tourist trips to the island originate from Psara
