Hi,

We went looking for Latham’s Snipe down our paddock (in Wamboin) today as we flushed two a couple of weeks ago from our dam. But no luck with the Snipe, although that’s not surprising given all the water and “pop-up” wetlands that have appeared around the neighbourhood at the moment, courtesy of ~400mm of rain since June.

However, I recorded 37 species on the walk, the highlights being:

Rufous Whistler

White-throated Gerygone

Western Gerygone (all firsts for us this Spring)

Shining Bronze-cuckoo

Satin Bowerbird (a recent arrival)

Eurasian Coot (x2, also recent arrivals, hopefully they will breed here)

Flame Robin

Dusky Woodswallow

Olive-backed Oriole

Varied Sittella

White-eared, Brown-headed, White-naped and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters aplenty

Zero Snipe

And yes, (Alastair) they have all been entered in eBird.

David
