As I indicated in an earlier post in the middle part of the day in was just off Sham Chung pier, about a kilometer or so from where first seen as I understand it ie near United World College, where there is a seaside restaurant called the Country Inn, and loads of parking. Again as I said, while at Sham Chung it could be seen very well from land, if you walked the 30 mins (or so?) from where the road ends at Yung Shue O.
However, I believe it had been fairly mobile, having been over near Plover Cove at one point. When I found it it was actually on the rocks c 50 m S/W of Sham Chung pier, and then on the water, and it flew once while we were with it.
It does not seem seriously ill - though who knows? - and was a bit of a 'booby', allowing quite close approach and drifting towards the boat quite happily.
It became a nicer little earner for one boatman - who looked very familiar, does he crew on the boat we go out onto southern waters in? He was charging $600 for the trip, but was generous with his time really and very pleasant in his manner.
