Observation details
Adult. First located sitting on the muddy shoreline on the main lagoon outlet channel, clearly unwell but able to fly short distances, so not able to be captured and taken into care in the early morning. Plumage suggests an adult starting to transition to non-breeding plumage. Apparently this individual was caught at 12.30pm at the eastern end of the main lagoon, and taken to Wildcare for treatment/rehabitation. Several poor record iPhone photos attached and a photo taken by A. Ardillo.
