Predation
Impacts of invasive animals within Australian Painted Snipe habitat are largely unknown and there is little evidence to suggest adverse impacts. Even though the Australian Painted Snipe favour nesting on mounds surrounded by water – which might be a behaviour to avoid predators – foxes and cats have been observed travelling through water. Consequently, Australian Painted Snipe adults and chicks are vulnerable to predation.
