The genus Puffinus has 21 species in it including 3 that were previously lumped into one. Manx and Yelkouan benefitted from a split in 1991 and then Balearic was further split out after that. I saw many Yelkouan from the beautiful hike around Cap d'Antibes in the south of France where the default Puffinus is Yelkouan. Most were half a mile out and it took hundreds of scatter shot pictures to come away with a couple keepers.
