Summary
A single bird was seen on the edge of the mangroves and on the retaining wall on 10 September 2017. It was first seen about half way round and then twice more after the boardwalk. I presume it was the same bird each time. The yellowish underparts indicate the Eastern rather than the Western species. Another was found by Ute Langner in the Gardens area in March 2018.
