Still present this morning but mobile. Afternoon, It is in last big garden before crossroads. Perfect viewing from a lay-by that overlooks the garden. No need to enter garden. The bird stayed in the same garden (just before crossroads in Malinmore valley) all day. It has a circuit around the grass/leaves and should be looked for from a parking area that overlooks the garden (with a small yellow gate). Do not enter garden. Bird easily seen from car park. One circuit takes about twenty minutes. So if not on view, be patient. Occasionally hops up on to roadside wall too.
