FYI Norfolk tripsters,

See below a list of species seen based on 4 surveys of Norfolk. The
reporting rate for a single observation is 25%. This gives some
indication of what you might expect on a standard trip. It is by no way
comprehensive.

Also it's just occurred to me. Songthrush is on the list! Victoria
therefore loses its only C&B listed breeding species to be found only in
Victoria.

Wedge-tailed Shearwater     50%
Red-tailed Tropicbird       75%
Masked Booby                75%

California Quail            25%
Red Junglefowl              25%
Wandering Tattler           25%
Ruddy Turnstone             25%
Black Noddy                 25%

My old Simpson & Day (4th edition, circa 1993) contained Australian
Island Territories checklists as an appendix at the end of the book.
This refers to several sources, including the Australian National Parks
& Wildlife Service - Norfolk Island National park.  15 years on, this
organisation now has a website with a checklist of the common specie:
http://www.environment.gov.au/parks/norfolk/nature-science/fauna.html#bi
rds
Simpson & Day seems to have a longer list as it covers vagrants too.
Avibase seems to have a checklist that covers this if you can't find a
copy of Simpson & Day or the island checklists have been excised:
