Abstract
SUMMARY Reilly, P. N., M. G. Brooker AND G. W. Johnstone. 1975. Birds of the south-western Nullarbor Plain. Emu 75: 73–76. Birds observed in April and October 1973 in the region of the western cliffs of the Great Australian Bight in Western Australia are listed, with a few observations from the shore and cliffs of the Bight in western South Australia in early November 1973. Vegetation is described briefly. Seven beach-washed specimens of five species were collected. The records extend eastwards the ranges of six species of landbirds. Little Penguins, a Pacific Gull and Welcome Swallows were found nesting at the base of or in the cliffs, which may also be used by White-breasted Sea-eagles, Peregrine Falcons and Nankeen Kestrels.Keywords
