: All fieldwork was carried out according to the national legislation. The research was carried out with moral responsibility for the animals, with the final goal to preserve and enhance the future survival of that species and to provide knowledge vital to their conservation. No specimens were collected for this study. Birds were removed from their nest, weighed, and measured. Then, the logger was attached to the bird with tape, and it was returned to the nest burrows within 5 min of initial capture. The logger was recovered, and the tape was removed after 1 (in one case 7) days. We avoided any disturbance to the nest during the first days of the life of chicks. No nest desertion was observed due to our operations, and all chicks fledged successfully. The study was carried out under the permit n. 2452 issued the Regional authorities (<i>Regione Siciliana, Assessorato Regionale dell’Agricoltura, dello Sviluppo Rurale e della Pesca Mediterranea, Dipartimento Regionale dello Sviluppo Rurale e Territoriale</i>) on February 1st, 2018.This research complies with the IUCN Policy Statement on Research Involving Species at Risk of Extinction (Scopoli's shearwater <i>Calonectris diomedea</i> is classified as "Least concern" in 2018).
