West of Vila do Porto is the small islet Ilhéu da Vila. It is possible to watch the birds from the shore, or take a late evening boat trip to wait for the breeding birds to arrive. The boat moors just under the cliffs and it is possible to see the birds arrive as it is getting dark. The breeding seabirds include Bulwer´s Petrel, Madeiran Storm-Petrel, as well as Cory’s and Little Shearwater. There is also a colony of terns with Roseate, Common Tern and Sooty Tern breeding there. Speak to "Capitano" in the harbour of Vila do Porto to arrange a boat trip out to the islet.
