Hi All, There are indeed two Painted Snipe at Alice Springs Sewage Ponds- I saw both this morning. The adult male bird is reasonably bold, not flinching when I broke the skyline (as one must at this very open and exposed site) and giving great views, but the other bird is very flighty- it flew off into nearby dense veg and didn’t re-appear. They continue to be focused around pond EP7.The scene is developing fast at the ponds- there are now literally hundreds of wood sandpiper and vast rafts of ducks. No doubt there are other goodies out there waiting to be discovered… Cheers Mark Carter DesertLife: Bird Guide, Wildlife Surveys & Consultancy in Australia’s Red CentreT ++61 (0) 447358045 mark@desertlife.com.au http://www.desertlife.com.au
