Observation details

Continuing at end of jetty with large group of WESA. Thanks to Ilya for pointing the bird out to me. Initially sitting on rock on breakwater at end of jetty, then came up to feed on its own in the grass just off the footpath. We had 15-20 minutes of great observation time until a walker disturbed the bird. Photos.
