Observation details
Continuing bird: I couldn’t resist a repeat visit and the opportunity for Jacqi to meet her lifer chat. Spent most of the observation period bouncing around the park’s vegetated areas and foraging actively. At times perched in the open or explored the pavement in search of crumbs, but generally kept to cover when eating. Offered incredible views, even to those in the assembled crowd of onlookers who had no optics. Held its own against the ravenous House Sparrows in the battle for scraps, pushing them off discarded peanuts and defending its prizes with spirited lunges. Settled in to roost on a well-hidden perch in a dense shrubbery shortly before we departed, fluffing up into an orb and tucking its head behind its wing
