I agree with Tom. I've been to Christmas Island but purely to see the
island's specialties. I am interested in the various curiosities being
reported but that's all they are from my perspective - l would never go to
Christmas or to Cocos to see a horde of birds that can be seen easily in
south-east Asia, and generally at much less cost.

Hi Frank,
I think you are missing the point regarding that comment, as exciting as
Christmas and Cocos sound (I would love to go birding there!) they are not
in the same faunal zone as Australia so many birders don't see the
relevance. You may as well go New Caledonia and add those species to your
'French' list.
