I thought struck me the other day (yes, it was painful). What happens to the 
vagrant species that turn up at places such as Ashmore Reef or Christmas/Cocos 
Is.? Do they all die? Having arrived at these places due to weather conditions 
or navigational error, many, if not all, would certainly have problems 
re-orienting themselves, so I imagine that the chances of returning to their 
normal habitat would be fairly slim. I imagine that such places, particularly 
Ashmore, would be rather like an avian death row.
