The female painted snipe was on the narrow strip of land/fence line this morning, crouched down and almost hidden in the deep shade of a wooden fence post. The male was out of sight.
I guess they were just trying to keep cool, out of the sun, unlike the observer!

On Wednesday afternoon, the female Australian Painted-snipe was closer to Lake Road and active. The conditions were terrible with low cloud, low light and rain at times but I got some video showing the behaviour of this species.
