Australian Painted Snipe (Juvenile female) DSCN7141

            Today it was quite dramatic, first I missed this bird by being 2 minutes late in the morning. Then I tried in the late afternoon, the bird was flushed by a young boy. I was very frustrated but still kept my cool by telling him he has scared away a very rare bird and I showed him my previous photo of it through iPhone. He was just innocent and later was trying to help me to locate one but he could only recognise the Purple Swamphen. Hope he starts to appreciate bird more, as he was more keen on finding frog among the reeds earlier.
Miraculously the bird somehow came back to the same spot around 7pm. What a day!
