Latham's Snipe

["Mike Carter" <>]

That is certainly a large number of Snipe for the 21st century. It is one of
the larger concentrations I've heard of in recent times. Historically of
course, we often had even larger congregations. For instance at Seaford
Swamp in the 1960s/70s we had over 400 but loss of habitat and birds means
that swamps on the east of Port Phillip Bay are now more likely to hold a
total of perhaps 40 birds!
