Latham's Snipe lands picture perfectly



Been spending more time lately stalking birds around edges of drying lagoons in the Townsville Town Common. But nothing will come close to sharp pic of Latham's Snipe splashing down at Melaleuca viewing area. Rare instance of absolutely everything going right for just the one frame in a high speed burst. Best pic ever for me. I don't enter comps, but if I did . . .

Nothing too much wrong with one or three others this month, starting with Bar-shouldered Dove.


Rufous-throated Honeyeater out in the open has some merit.


And couple of Radjah Shelducks up close rewarded a patient approach. Now to just wait patiently for several years for something to come close to the Latham's!

  1. Weeks later and I can't get within 50 metres of a snipe!
