NORTH LAKE SIGHTING OF PAINTED SNIPES DECEMBER 27TH 2012
The word got around that there were painted snipes (Rostratula benghalensis) in the reeds by the small pond, near the bench.
I was not lucky enough to see them but Darryl James was and saw four nestling in the reeds.
I met up with a bird watcher from Birds Australia and we walked down to the lake and saw 21 Glossy Ibis,well over 30 black wing stilts and a common greenshank.
