Australasian Bittern (3), Latham's Snipe (7)
Waterhouse Conservation Area
2 Australasian Bitterns present at Blackman's Lagoon, both flushed from the wetland area behind the campsite in the morning. One bird sighted in the evening sitting in the same clump of grass from which it flushed in the morning. Both birds called well into the night. Another bittern observed in the expansive grassy section of Big Waterhouse Lake mid-morning. 7 Latham's Snipe flushed from the northern perimeter of Little Waterhouse Lake, likely to be more around the other side. Birds were roosting right up in the scrub around the lake.
