Ah yes, Geoff Jones is an unbelievable photographer and has put much effort into developing his website, travelling to the US for the purpose.  Coincidentally, when I met him at Werribee about 3 years ago, just the day before he had been photographing the famous Painted-snipe at Edithvale Swamp, sitting on the roof of his Land Cruiser and snapping over the fence.

Birdo.com has a photo of 20 or more Aust Painted Snipe, at http://bird-o.com/2011/11/17/australian-painted-snip/

'Freshly returned from Jerilderie, Geoffrey Jones of Barra Imaging captured this unique shot of an amazing number of Australian Painted Snipe. One of Australia’s rarest waders and long-suffering from ten years of drought, these stunning images signal a return to normal for the Australian outback. Australian Painted Snipe are appearing in numbers throughout southern Australia at the moment. Better check your local wetland!!'
