The Latham’s Snipe Project was started by a group of passionate ornithologists to better understand the ecology of the Latham’s snipe Gallinago hardwickii and their use of wetlands.

This project uses counting, via a national monitoring program, and capture-based research to understand patterns in distribution and abundance, and movement and migration of Latham’s Snipe within the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.

This project would not be possible without the involvment of local communities, private land holders and the extraordinary contributions of volunteers.
