from black rats. Predation by cats and degradation and loss of habitat are additional threats (Nance et al. 2021c). This species has probably managed to survive due to its habit of fast movement and remote nest construction on slender branches which do not support the weight of feral animal predators (Director of National Parks 2010).

Impact on other species
None known.

Management actions
Survey to monitor for any signs of further population decline. Assess the need for listing as a threatened species. Undertake targeted predator control of black rats and feral cats. Restore native forest inside and outside the national park, including management to reduce size of areas dominated by red guava.

Conservation significance
EPBC Act Listing Status: Not listed.
State Listing Status: Listed as Vulnerable under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (New South Wales).
Non-statutory Listing Status: Described as near threatened in the Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010 (Garnett et al. 2011).

Distribution
Widespread throughout the subtropical and tropical zones of the Indian and West Pacific Oceans. It breeds on the Norfolk Island Group and in Australia on Ashmore Reef, Rowley Shoals, Cocos Keeling Islands, Christmas Island, islands of the Great Barrier Reef and islands of the Lord Howe Island.
A widespread coastal summer breeding species, this species is well established on the Norfolk Island Group and occurs on all three islands. Numbers appear to have been stable, particularly on Phillip Island where there are no predators (Schodde et al. 1983). Phillip Island supports one of the
