Painted Snipe this morning

[Sue Lashko via Canberrabirds <>]

Just back from Kelly Swamp.  No sign of the A P-S pair but I counted 29 Latham's Snipes and 13 Spotted Crakes including one pair with 2 chicks, all in the vicinity of the previous A P-S sightings..

Here is a photo of the pair from Monday about 8am.  They were a long way away (on the western side of Kelly Swamp) and mostly hidden in vegetation so hard to get a decent shot.

I was there on one day in the last week and didn't knowingly see them (I wondered but was too distant). Anyway I am sure from your photo, that it is the Aust Painted-snipe.

Can anyone who witnessed the wing stretches before I arrived this morning, confirm this is the snipe.  It refused to give me head views. It was in the same location.
