Hi all
Just thought I’d share my little high that I had this morning
Driving the kids to school and at the end of Tyalgum road just out of
Murwillumbah NSW, I see movement in the culvert/drain on my left and the shape
of a bird that was unbelievable
Slammed on the breaks and turned around to see a LATHAMS SNIPE (all the way
from Japan mind you) crossing the road/walking casually like it owned the
place) 😳😳😳
I stopped the car and it flew , then it landed in the short waterlogged grass
on the edge of the cow paddock.
I get out of the car and walk towards it slowly...it flies again and lands
HIDDEN in the long grass of the cow paddock 🙄...I had great views
A friend of mine just told me this morning he saw a few at a swamp just
yesterday...so...they’ve obviously suddenly arrived in the last few days or
more I guess and showing up randomly
Just thought I’d share my excitement
Been a while since I saw one and to see one in my backyard almost was awesome
Anyone else seeing them show up in other places???
Kirri 😊
