	Wetlands Australia - National Wetlands Update 2004: Painted Snipe: The Rarest Bird of our Freshwater Wetlands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Until recently, it was considered that the Australian Painted Snipe was merely a subspecies of the Greater Painted Snipe but taxonomic revision, including DNA and morphological analysis, has revealed that it is a separate distinct species.
		We also anticipate that the Painted Snipe, with all its beauty and intrigue, would be a terrific flagship species for freshwater wetland conservation in Australia, highlighting the desperate plight that so many wetland species find themselves in.
		Painted Snipe can be incredibly cryptic and reluctant to flush, preferring to rely on camouflage and remain on the ground, and we recommend that any searching be conducted carefully and patiently.

	Australian Painted Snipe (Rostratula australis) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Australian Painted Snipe has also been referred to as the Painted Snipe or Greater Painted Snipe, Rostratula benghalensis or Rostralula benghalensis australis, as it was previously considered to be part of the Greater Painted Snipe species that occurs also in Africa and Asia.
		Although the Australian Painted Snipe can occur across Australia, the areas of most sensitivity to the species are those wetlands where the birds frequently occur and are known to breed.
		Listing of the Australian Painted Snipe as a nationally threatened species under the EPBC Act means that any action that is likely to have a significant impact on the species will need to be referred to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage for a decision as to whether assessment and approval is required.
