Abstract

The occurrence and status of rare, vagrant and exotic bird taxa recorded at Macquarie Island between 1901 and 2000 are reviewed. The number of species recorded at the island, excluding those that have bred regularly on the main island between 1901 and 2000, is increased to 56 non-breeding species, seven species that have been confirmed breeding since 1980 and four introduced/exotic species breeding on the island.
