Hi birding-aussers,
Last week (12-13th Sept), whilst conducting Orange-bellied Parrot searches
at Nirranda near Peterborough in sw Vic, I saw three Latham's Snipe. One
was flushed from a small wetland in the Bay of Islands Coastal Park, one
from a wetland on a dairy farm and one flying over. Also, several small
flocks of Sharp-tailed Sandpipers flying over.
These are the first Latham's Snipe I've seen for the season, and they
should start turning up everywhere from about now on.
Cheers,
Chris
