Which
Snipe?
A
Latham's Snipe would be unusual, only on the basis of time of year (most waders
have some that stay through the year, I don't know about that one).
A
Painted Snipe would be exciting to have here but they are not a migrant and
could turn up anywhere, no reason. Why not North Watson Wetland?

[canberrabirds] An interesting question
A friend who knows
birds and thus would not be mistaken has asked "what is a snipe doing in the
sedge beds at North Watson Wetland last Friday morning (apart from being very
cold)?"
I have provided an incidental record form for
completion.
