Subject: Little Penguin Parade
I see the Phillip Island is quite a bird place, the Phillip island Nature has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports over 1% of the world populations of Little Penguins (with up to 26,000 birds), Short-tailed Shearwaters (up to 450,000 pairs) and Pacific Gulls (with an estimated 52-490 birds). In the past it was occasionally visited by small numbers of Orange-bellied Parrots.[2] One of the largest breeding colonies of Crested Terns in Victoria (2800 pairs) is at the Nobbies. Pied and Sooty Oystercatchers, as well as Hooded Plovers, use the beaches.[1]
