Hi.
Very nice picture, congratulations.
The plant on which the bird is feeding is Polygonum capitatum (= Persicaria capitata), an introduced and invasive species quite common in the Azores.
Best regards.

Hi again.
By the way, did you see any Barolo Shearwater (Puffinus baroli) in the sea? It seems a rare species in the Azores...
Best regards.

Hi.
Ok. Bulwer's Petrel (Bulweria bulwerii) is also quite scarce in the Azores and much more common on Madeira or the Canary Islands.
Best regards from the Canaries.
