Do any of you have up to date information on the Port Fairy Painted Snipe?
The last I heard was the report on the Victorian Birdline before Christmas.
Three of us tried and dipped in early January, I think Wed 3rd. The spot is
easy to find from directions in earlier posts. We didn't go into the
paddock for the reasons people have already mentioned - it does appear to
be private land and we wanted to avoid disturbing them, particularly if
they might be breeding. We had a good look with a scope without success.
The Crags down the end of the road are worth a look and there was a Nankeen
Kestrel nesting in a hollow in the cliff face there.
