User's notes
Spotted it successfully crossing Constitution Ave. It proceeded to search along the Russel Offices for 5-10min before eventually crossing the road again. It was potentially stuck against the retaining wall and I was a bit concerned for its welfare so I carefully picked it up and carried it 100m back into Mt Pleasant.
