Abstract: Recent data on the breeding birds of the islands of Sal and Boavista (Cape Verde Islands), obtained between 30 September - 14 October, 1998, are presented. The nesting of the Red-billed Tropicbird (Phaethon aethereus) on Boavista is confirmed, and the first registers of the Barn Owl {Tyto alba ssp.) for this island are included here. On the other hand, we could detect species found only 2-3 times on Boavista, as the Black Kite (Milvus migrans) and the Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla). In the case of this last species, our data indi- cate that it must be a breeding species on this island. At the same time, several aspects of the avifauna of both islands are analysed: faunistic, habitats, breeding phenology and important areas for conservation.
