About a kilometre off the Yass-Wee Jasper Road, not far from the Junction with Sawyer Gully Road.

We were on a private property as part of the ANU survey. We were driving along a farm track and had slowed down to bypass a big puddle on the track; standing in the puddle: a lone Painted Snipe. It stood stock still while we drove past but was gone when we returned.

While there, we also saw a flock of about 30 woodswallows. They were low enough to differentiate and were White-browed to Masked in a proportion of 1:2.

There were dozens of Pelicans on Burrinjuck, which is full.
