==== Birds ==== [[File:White-bellied_sea_eagle.jpg|thumb|White-bellied sea eagle sitting on a tree (''Haliaeetus leucogaster)''.<ref>Groves, L. (2007). Freycinet white-bellied sea eagle [Photograph] Retrieved 5 May 2016, from https://www.flickr.com/photos/130200334@N05/26755901321</ref>]] Owing to the varying ecosystems in Freycinet there are many species of birds that either inhabit or fly through the park. They range from large predator species such as the brown falcon (''[[Falco berigora]]'') and white-bellied sea eagle (''[[Haliaeetus leucogaster]]'') to smaller species including the superb fairy-wren (''[[Malurus cyaneus]]'') and flame robin (''[[Petroica phoenicea]]'').<ref name=birdsFNP>{{cite web |url=http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/file.aspx?id=6546 |title=Bird list of Freycinet National Park|last=Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service |date=2005 |website= Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service |access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref> There are also several species which are listed on the ''TSP Act'', such as the black-browed albatross (''[[Thalassarche melanophris]]''), shy albatross (''[[Thalassarche cauta]]''), Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle (''[[Aquila audax fleayi]]''), white-fronted tern (''[[Sterna striata]]''), Australian fairy tern (''[[Sternula nereis]] nereis'') and the swift parrot (''[[Lathamus discolor]]'').<ref name=birdsFNP/> The endangered swift parrot breeds on the east coast of Tasmania from September through to January, their movements corresponding to the flowering of several ''Eucalyptus'' spp. before they migrate to the mainland over winter.<ref name=webb>Webb, M.
