In the late 1960's I used to work for Forests Commission assessments division and in spring and summer, Japanese Snipe were frequently found in sub alpine heathlands. Particularly common in higher heathland areas near Poweltown Victoria. Interestingly Blue-winged Parrots were also often seen in the same habitat areas.

Dear Birders,
Walking in the KNP today we flushed a pair of snipe - presumably Latham's. The birds were seen in snow grass and alpine heath near the ruins of Foreman's Hut upstream of the confluence of the Snowy River and Club Lake Creek.
Seemed like a strange place to find them.
Regards
Peter
