Not sure why but I appear to have missed any earlier birding-aus email that showed these great directions - Cove Road where please?

cheers

The following is a message from Trevor Ford who saw the Painted Snipe today.

Hi Roy,

Many thanks - great directions - they were the first birds I put my bins on!

Cove Road is an area I go to about every 6 months or so, and always reckon it looks promising. I've seen some good birds out there but not as good as Painted Snipe. (Although I did have my only SEQ Red Goshawk fly over the main road several years ago.)

You might want to send another message to birding-aus, updating the situation. I'll leave it up to you.

Anyway, I saw the birds exactly where you said they'd be, between 3pm and 3.30pm this afternoon. This time there were four birds - 2 males and 2 females. Also good for local birders were 6 Cotton Pygmy Geese and 4 Great Crested Grebes (between that dam and the one a little further on). Glossy Ibis and White-necked Heron were also present but I didn't see any Yellow-billed Spoonbills.

Cheers - Trevor

If birders are going to the area remember that they are on private property so do not leave the road. Trevor and I (plus Robyn Howard yesterday) all saw them easily from Cove Road.

Good birding!!
