   Hi Brian & Meg,

   Pale White-eye is found in the southern Torres Strait Islands (just off the coast of mainland Australia), particularly Mt Adolphus Is (as Russell T suggests), as well as Little Woody Is (just west of Possession Is) and Little Tuesday Is (possibly the most reliable and uninhabited), accessible by water taxi from Horn Is (the trip takes about an hour).

   Aside from Pale White-eye on Little Tuesday Is you might see Beach Stone-Curlew, Sanderling, Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove, Noisy Pitta, Mangrove Golden Whistler, Broad-billed Flycatcher, Spectacled Monarch, Dusky and Red-headed Honeyeater.

   On the way to the island look for seabirds such as Great and Lesser Frigatebird, Brown Booby, Lesser Crested, Crested, Common, Black-naped, Sooty and Bridled Tern, and Common and Black Noddy.

   Cheers,

   Tim Dolby

   Hi all. Very soon, we are off on our long trip which eventually will have us going up Cape York to the tip. I’m looking for reliable islands (& how to visit without own boat) to find Pale White-eye. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Cheers Brian & Meg ===============================

   From memory they are on Mt Adolphus Island. Got there from Pajinka beach on a boat hired from Horn Island.
