I am not familiar with some of the behaviour terms listed so I can't tick this box. We watched it for about an hour, and it was still there an hour later.

It became more alert after a while. He / she (I cannot tell) occasionally stretched it's neck round or twisted into different resting positions. I stayed there for about half an hour (at a safe distance). It seemed like it would return to the water because it was becoming more active. I have heard that it was no longer there early this morning.
