first reported by Jane Cooksley on 31 October, 2023.
Very at ease bird was able to watch her for awhile, she had several naps with her head turned right around and beak in her back feathers and was not bothered when other birds came in for a drink. She mainly stayed in one place then had a walk through the water to another spot and was sleeping when we left. A real privilege to see. Pics on max and heavily cropped, we kept our distance.
