I've been to see this fantastic Christmas present twice, on Thursday and Saturday. It seemed to me that it sat much higher in the water on Thursday and was drooping its wings on Saturday. This may just be because it was fishing actively on Saturday and loafing on Thursday. I hope so.

Anyway, here are three pix, one from Thurs and two from Sat.

I saw it Saturday and then Tuesday (NYE) and found like you on the Saturday it to be VERY active but on the Tuesday for it to be on the surface (like you say loafing) the majority of the time, so hopefully its not poorly, it just has hyper and lazy days!

Regards
Cliff

I'd like to think its moved, but I suspect its stopped moving altogether.
