A pair of Australian painted snipe observed amoungst the vegetation fringing one of the swallow outer pools. Great views from close range. Still present are they cotton pygmy geese, pink eared duck and lathams snipe, it appears as tho the sharp-tailed sandpipers have moved on. Unfortunitally there were also two muscovy ducks recorded at the site for the first time.
