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!!
