Sumario:Thebreeding foraging andpost-breedingdispersal movementsof five satellite-tagged Bulwer’s Petrels fromthe Canary Islands were recorded. Foraging trips lasted 5.6 days in average (n=3), while the meandistance covered was1261km,andforaging areas were located over the continental slope andthe adjacent pelagic waters, around 1200–2000 mdepth and up to 350 kmfromthe colony. After the chick-rearing period, birds dispersed southwestwards to the tropical waters of the central Atlantic
