User's notes
Initially observed grooming itself by rubbing its plumage on a concrete wall, it then flew into a shallow/muddy pond and partially submerged itself for several minutes. Then began picking through the mud with its beak, raising and discarding several sodden twigs and strands of grass, before taking flight into a tree over the carpark.
