Fortunately just minutes before arriving I received a tweet from Simon Lane that the bird was still present ! The bird was mostly diving but in between it put on quite a show, at times being very close & at others flapping it's wings as if preparing to take off. Evidently there is enough food for the bird to be feeding for a day or two, yet undoubtedly it should be departing soon to it's more familiar haunts of the ocean coastline.
Here is a picture taken by friend Jonathan Klizas, and more info on the Morris-Somerset County birding blog which he administers.
