Over the break I had the amazing privilege of seeing an endangered bird. #Australianpaintedsnipe
One article put their numbers at ~400 left. Hopefully there are more out there than we know.

A terrible cropped photo of a female Australian Painted-Snipe walking to the water to feed. Females have a dark brown head.
Another terrible cropped photo of one of four males in the group feeding in the water.
Today I'm very happy that I saw my first (actually my first 5!) Australian Painted-Snipes west of Brisbane. They are elusive and endangered birds. Sadly it's estimated only ~1000 are left in the wild. #wishIhadabettercamera #birds #AustralianPaintedSnipe #lifer #birdwatching #Australia
