Birdwatching
The island boasts a bird list of one hundred and sixteen species. Of these sixty-six are vagrants or non-breeding migrants. A number of the seabirds which nest on Phillip Island are subject to agreements which Australia has entered into with the Governments of Japan and the People's Republic of China.
Many species of birds widespread in the southwest pacific have established themselves in Norfolk Island since European settlement. Some are probably self introductions while others were bought to the island from other places and deliberately released.
