The bird was a thick bulky bird, slow clumsy flight. Also saw the white-edged tail feathers and dark bands on head (across the head from side to side), as well as ofcourse the long bill (goes without saying, but saying it anyway). The wings also made a sound somewhat like the sound pigeons or mourning doves make when flying , but different. The bird flew out of the community garden and into Kissena Corridor proper in the direction of the children's playground. Could not relocate the bird. Sorry no picture. --
