Hasties Swamp

["Harry Clarke" <>]

There were 2 painted snipe at the 'swampy end' of Hasties Swamp in the
Atherton Tablelands two days ago. They were in rushes close to some rusty
metal fence posts.  At the same spot was a spotless crake and buff-banded
rail.  Birding in the area, and for a short time on grassy spots in the
coastal strip, I saw 107 species that day (or 108 if you count the jabiru in
the wetland next to Cairns airport I saw when returning that night to
Melbourne!).  I was pretty stoked by 5 very confiding chowchilla at Lake
Barine - a new bird for me.  HC.
