Three of the islands within the MNP, Wattle, Kanowna and Anser are of state significance for<br />
shorebird habitat (Plummer et al. 2003). Species recorded include the crested tern, sooty<br />
oystercatcher, silver gull, Pacific gull (the only Victorian breeding site for this species), shorttailed<br />
shearwater, fairy prion and common diving-petrel (Plummer et al. 2003). Similar<br />
species are recorded on the islands of the Glennie Group to the west of the MNP (Plummer<br />
et al. 2003).<br />
