I saw the bird again this afternoon at 3pm. It was almost the first
bird I saw! So don't know where it was hanging out the past 5 days
since it was previously seen very late last Thursday.
See previous postings for directions to the end of Abbotswood
Parkway. I parked on the verge behind the roundabout. It was
feeding along the edge of the grass on the island in the main lake,
and then it splashed around a bit as it bathed. A Pacific Black Duck
swam close by to head to the shore, which caused the pintail to swim
away quickly for a few metres, so it is still nervous of other
ducks. We did not approach closely at all (maybe 50 metres), so we
did not disturb it.
