Observation details
The very obvious deep grey mantle & upperwings contrasting heavily with the white rump stood out almost immediately when we entered and saw it flying a circuit around the lake. Immediately alerted the others with cameras to get a few record images to get a better view of the ear coverts & was pretty shocked to find a perfect nonbreeding adult with the classic headphone-shaped ear coverts!! Kept flying around the lake while making dives to catch fish for nearly half an hour before it settled out of sight somewhere north of the lake. Even got brilliant scoped views of it flying around & diving to catch a fish from quite close ;)
