European storm petrel resembles the chatter-call. Chicks give a whistling "pee-pee-pee" call when being fed, and a faster version of this vocalisation is used by adults and young to signal distress. Storm petrels breed only in the Western Palaearctic on islands off the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Europe. The largest colonies are in the Faroe Islands (150,000-400,000 pairs), United Kingdom (20,000-150,000), Ireland (50,000-100,000) and Iceland (50,000-100,000), with smaller breeding areas off Norway, Malta, Spain, the Canary Islands, Italy, France and Greece. The strongholds of the "melitensis" subspecies are the island of Filfla (Malta), Sicily and the Balearic Islands, with smaller sites elsewhere
