User's notes

The bird was sighted landing in the shallow water close to the shoreline as the tide receded. It appeared to be trying to bathe but was disturbed by people walking the shoreline and flew further out into the bay. It subsequently tried two other spots to bathe but was again disturbed, this time by fishermen walking out over the exposed flats. It eventually found a quite part of the flats to bathe, as covered in following sighting 4502361.
