Solitary Islands Marine Park sweetlip ("Plectorhinchus gibbosus") occur with mulloway ("Argyrosomus japonicus"), snapper, red morwong ("Cheilodactylus fuscus"), silver trevally ("Pseudocaranx georgianus"), bream ("Acanthopagrus" spp.) and tarwhine ("Rhabdosargus sarba"). Marine turtles are common in the Park, with green turtle ("Chelonia mydas"), loggerhead turtle ("Caretta caretta"), hawksbill turtle ("Eretmochelys imbricata") and occasional sightings of leatherback turtles. Nesting green turtles and loggerhead turtles have been recorded on several beaches, with some eggs hatching successfully. Only a few species of sea snakes have been recorded in the region, including the Elegant sea snake ("Hydrophis elegans") and Yellow-bellied sea snake ("Pelamis platurus"). The only reptile recorded on Muttonbird Island
Loggerhead shrike be energetically stressed and underweight. Insects are consumed in mid-flight, but vertebrates usually require more handling time and therefore more energy. Due to the shrike's small size in proportion to the size of its prey, it must rely on specialized adaptations to facilitate its hunting. The powerful, hooked beak of the loggerhead shrike allows it to sever the neck of a small vertebrate. Larger prey are subjected to impaling, in which they are pushed down into a sharp projection, such as a thorn or barbed wire. The bird can then tear off flesh by using the projection as an anchor.
