Latham's Snipe

Thank you for your kind words, but i am only new to birding and have assumed before and shown to be wrong so just want to make sure. The bird hides here are excellent so i hope to get more shots of different birds. Now that i am looking at birds closely there are so many different ones

Thanks Woko it was my first sighting but they were here again today.

Thanks M-L. I must say i love looking at the pics you put up on here, always exceptional.

Thanks Peter. I have lived in Canberra most of my life and i must say it has a lot going for it. If you do come i suggest Springtime, best weather at that time.

Here is a 4 shot pano of part of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands (best viewed at full size on flickr) Taken from one of the hides and showing 2 more hides on the left. We need rain though, it has dried up a lot since i first went there 2 weeks ago.

Thanks Woko, as i am new to birding all i can say is there are a lot of small birds around. So far i have seen Spotted Crakes, Black fronted Dotterals and Buff banded rails (and other birds i have not looked up yet) but the larger birds like the spoonbill have moved on. I will keep going there as i can and see what i can find.
