Published sightings for the week ending 9 Feb 2014.

Sat 8 Feb	Cockatiel Mount Ainslie Reserve We've seen a single bird in the Duffy St, Ainslie area for more than a week. This morning it was on Mt Ainslie west. Occasionally we think we can hear more than one but haven't yet been able to confirm that. [Moderator's comment: It is always questionable whether single Cockatiels like this are truly of wild origin.FA] Stephanie Haygarth
	Lathams Snipe Callum Brae NR A single snipe at the farm on the southern boundary of Callum Brae this morning. This is my first sighting of this species in 102 visits to the reserve. Full species list on eBird so follow the link. Alastair Smith
