Tracking Gloria, Marcelina, and the rest across Australia is impressive! Lake Eyre Basin is clearly vital to their epic journeys. Let's brainstorm how to support these incredible long flights!

Another reason to ensure that Macquarie Marshes are listed again as a Threatened Ecological Community.

Give @TrackingAPSnipe a follow to discover more about the life of an Austrailian Painted Snipe 😇⬇️
Marcelina recently pushed another 60 km further north. She’s now using a large wetland near Daly Waters, about 2253 km from where we caught her in Jan. What a joy it is to document the first long distance movements of such an enigmatic and endangered species.

A Red-necked Avocet I am currently tracking is making an almost identical trip. Race you to the destination!

Clearly she also follows the Fowlers Gap research station on insta 😆
Great data!

In South-East Queensland at least, this species is rare and patchy. Probably 1 in 5-7 years is a good year for them, when we might get a spate of sightings, then nothing in between. Probably similar elsewhere.

has it been a boom year for painted snipe, or are people just reporting them more widely now that there's a research project? @TrackingAPSnipe

I have a wonderful montane swamp in my front ‘yard’ - it’s my favourite thing.
Sadly I’m not sure the Painted Snipe has ever occurred here but will keep my eye out!

Good work Matt. Really enjoyed your presentation to Blue Mountains Bird Observers last Saturday!

Look at these beautiful wetland areas that Gloria, the first Australian Painted-snipe to be tracked, has been using. If you see habitat like this then please keep a lookout! @TrackingAPSnipe
