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.
