File TorresStraitIslandsMap.png thumb right 400px Islands of TorresStrait The Birds of Boigu Island, Queensland Boigu , Saibai Island, Queensland Saibai and Dauan Island, Queensland Dauan Island s the Top Western group of TorresStrait Islands TorresStrait , are of particular interest to Australian birding birders because the islands are home to, and visited by, birds which are essentially New Guinea species not found, or only occasionally seen as vagrants, elsewhere on Australia n territory. The islands lie only a few kilometres from the mainland of New Guinea, though they are politically part of the state of Queensland, Australia . Boigu and Saibai are low lying alluvium alluvial islands of swampland and mangroves , subject to periodic flooding, while Dauan is a smaller but higher granite island. From an Australian birder s perspective, local bird specialities include Grey headed Goshawk , Gurney s Eagle , Rufous bellied Kookaburra , Collared Imperial Pigeon , Orange bellied Fruit Dove , Papuan Needletail , Red capped Flowerpecker , Streak headed Mannikin and Singing Starling . Access Access to these islands is not easy. Permission to visit is required from the island councils. The few birders who visit, do so on pre organised trips by chartered yacht or, occasionally, on day trips by chartered light aircraft. Saibai and Boigu have airstrips.
