Found in green lake. Must be not migratory as green lake does not have outflow as far as I am aware.

Sorry for the rather grisly photos.
Washed up on small beach just above high tide mark. Long dead!
Photo 7 seems to confirm ID rather conclusively (unless beak has been deformed by time and conditions).
Wrybills are known to congregate at Ambury Park across the harbour.
