Five Lathams Snipe were caught this morning at Kellys Swamp. None were heavy enough for the gps trackers to be fitted but all were banded and given orange leg tags.
If anyone sees a snipe with an orange leg flag can they let us know and better still if you get close enough to read the number on it – either a P or an R followed by a number.
ABC were filming the work this morning, not certain on date of broadcast.
Thanks.
