Yay! At last!
I have been wanting to get a half decent shot of the Latham's Snipes at Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands since they arrived in late October but have only managed a few very blurry images until today. When I arrived this morning I got 4 shots straight up. I then bumped into David ( www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry/ ) and Dorothy ( www.flickr.com/photos/friendsintheair/ ) . As we were preparing to leave the area David decided to head into an area where we know they are roosting and subsequently when they flushed I was in the right place for another half dozen shots. They breed in Japan during our Winter and migrate to Australia during our Summer. Thanks David!
