Steve W has given a good description of the exact location where the Painted-snipe was last Saturday.
Eremaea list 208709 notes the bird as a female. The bird I saw on three separate occasions last Saturday rarely left cover, and on the one occasion it did the light was poor, so I could not tell if it was a male or female.

Yesterday a male made a brief appearance in front of Ardea hide. It was between the two big logs in the area to the right, under the Dock plant.
