painted snipe

Thanks to Frank Antram for letting me use his scope to see the PS today

I waited in Ardea for a long while and saw the dock-spot bird move out and around the swamp; unfortunately nonbirdos came along, were noisy and disturbed the bird when it was closest to me in the hide;

I reckon there are two birds in the bay area behind the dock spot.

Watching the bay area, in the open,  down from the sign further west of Ardea which says `wildlife refuge,… do not enter or some such’ was also fruitful.
