Hi all,
         Arrived at Ash Island yesterday at 7.20 pm to look for the two Painted 
Snipe.  Within 5 minutes of getting out of the car l managed to get excellent 
veiws and some nice photos of both birds.  They were in the same area as 
reported previously, feeding in a shallow wetland approx. 120 metres off from 
the road.  For those in the area who haven't been out there yet this is a great 
opportunity to see these amazing birds up close (with a scope) considering 
there are only approximately 1,500? birds remaining in Australia.
 
Definitely made my day!!
 
Cheers
