The background review in the 2022 report records indications of small Bulwer’s petrel colonies on Roque de las Tabaibas and Roque del Guincho in Garafía. These are indications from earlier literature, distinct from nests confirmed during the study’s field campaigns. [1]

The mention of Guincho belongs to the history of seabird observations on La Palma. The report brings together earlier studies and distinguishes sites with signs of occupation from those with confirmed breeding. For this rock, the cited evidence supports possible presence, without assigning it numbers of nests confirmed in 2022. [1]
