=There are three islands in the Claremont Isles National Park: Fife, Pelican and Burkitt islands. All three islands have breeding populations of terns. Burkitt Island is an important breeding ground for the pied imperial pigeon. Migratory species such as the beach stone-curlew also flock to the island's extensive sand flats and lagoons. Australian terns lend the Pelican Island their name and Fife Island is famous for its population of wedge-tailed shearwaters.
