Island Monarch on Cassini Island, Kimberley, WA

["Mike Carter" <>]

BARC has received an excellent submission from Merrick Ekins of an Island 
Monarch seen and photographed on Cassini Island off the Kimberley coast in 
WA on 15 October 2010. This species has not previously been recorded as 
occurring anywhere in Australia other than on the external territory of 
Ashmore Reef. First seen at Ashmore in 2004, it has now been seen on each 
Kimberley Birdwatching's annual spring trip since 2007 (4 visits) and was 
present there in April and November 2010 when up to 4 individuals were 
present although not seen every day.
