Australian Painted Snipe

Good Afternoon Everyone

After receiving a phone call from Peter Merritt on Tuesday evening I went to Jerilderie the next day and photographed 30 APS at a undisclosed location, I was able to photograph 24 of them in one photo and was pretty pleased with myself until my return only to read that 57 of them had been seen up at Macquarie Marshes so obviously they are as common as Scarlet-chested Parrots! Here is my usual link http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup and I will take this moment to say Merry Christmas to you all as this will be my last posting till I return from Antarctica on the 28th of Dec. Some of you will also remember that I set a goal of photographing 700 species in Australian waters and its Territories in a 5 year period which will end at the end of this year, my tally at the moment is 696 so hopefully I will achieve my goal near Mawson’s Hut down in Antarctica. Just a quick word on recent events, don’t take life to seriously as you are a long time dead!

Yours in everything “BALANGARA”
