The Google satellite image of the location is wrong. Barrow Island is in the
Indian Ocean, off the coast of Onslow, Western Australia, not in the Pacific
Ocean off the coast of Qld.

Barrow island is a desert island. I wonder if recent cyclone activity over
the last few days/weeks blew this bird over there from south-east Asia?

Hi,

I have just recieved a report of a Hooded Pitta found dead on Barrow just
beside the coastline.
