The birdlife of all islands of the Mercury group, with the exception of Little Ohena, has previously been recorded in detail; but owing to inaccessibility in all but ideal conditions, no record has been made of the birds of Little Ohena. A brief description of the island and its birdlife is given in particular of the occurrence of the white-faced storm petrel Pelagodroma marina, which has not been found breeding on any other island of the Mercury group.
