Surprise find, dead in this case. More surprising, another live one was struggling on the beach a bit further north.
Alive, with some feistiness left in it, but definitely not in full health. After the close approach for photos initially, it managed to evade capture, so I did not manage to take it to Wildbase.
apparently was sighted dead about two weeks ago at same spot

Just a patch of feathers. Perhaps killed by a falcon.
Juvenile, for those unfamiliar with them
