The bird in the top right does look a lot like a Latham's Snipe, although it is too indisinct to be sure. It is certainly the most likely such bird in the location.

Good evening

This was taken at Giralang Pond yesterday morning I, apologise for the quality not a good photographer and don’t have a good camera.
I can ID the Red Kneed Dotterell in the foreground however in back ground there are a pair of Snipes … I think? Can some one see if they are identifiable please I do have other shots of both, the Dotterell is very active and was there again this morning flying between West & East sides.

Thank you for alerting me to their presence in the first place. I live close by so I am very excited.
