The establishment and decline of a breeding colony of White-faced Storm-Petrels
Pelagodroma marina at Fisher Island in the Furneaux Islands, Tasmania was observed
from 1973 to 1977.

An attempt was made to follow the success of breeding in the colony in its first
years and also to gather information to compare this colony with long established
colonies of the same species elsewhere.

The information collected showed that the breeding birds at Fisher Island were less
faithful to their mates and nesting sites than was reported for this species by Richdale
(1965).
