The section of the lake is where the bird was seen is in the nw
corner, adjacent to The Foreshore rd in Churchlands. There is a large
white statue in the middle of this lake, and the bird was about 30m ne
of the statue. Take Bishop Hale Way off Pearson St, left on All Saints
Way, and right on Bishop Riley, and the statue will be in front of
you. Cheers, Nigel
