Cook island, Tweed heads

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

Hi John,

Cook Island is a nature reserve managed by DECC (National Parks & Wildlife 
Service) and an entry permit is required to land on the Island.  You should 
check with the Murwillumbah office of Parks & Wildlife (DECC) beforehand.

The Australian Bird Bander and its morph 'Corella' have published a number of 
items on Seabird Islands over the years.  In 1973 an article on Cook Island was 
published.  The breeding seabirds listed were the Wedge-tailed Shearwater and 
Crested Tern.  Other seabirds recorded were the Silver Gull, Great Cormorant 
and Eastern Reef Egret.

I did observe 2,000+ Common Terns off the edge of the Island in 1994.

Regards

Greg Clancy
