Towards the end of the road by the bay of the small settlement, there is nothing else to do here but continuously patrol the road, in doing this though you will just keep on adding to your list. I didn’t get the bowerbird until my fifth search, so don’t give up. There are a lot of dangerous no-see-ums in the mangroves, if you are bitten enough times you are likely to get a nasty reaction, so insect repellent is essential.
