They have now established a breeding population on the western end of Phillip Island. I first recorded a single bird on the island in December 1983 near the Penguin Parade. Sightings increased in frequency through the 1980s until it was a resident of the Parade area by the 1990s. Presumably it has colonised the Island from the Mornington Peninsula.
