Didn't see any evidence of it roosting - flew in high from the seaward direction, coming inland, then banked and headed off on an angle heading southwest, perhaps towards Lake Mahineapua - or anywhere else on the coast.
If it was roosting on the sand spit, 100% of the spit is currently on the south side of the estuary, so you'd need to probably take a vehicle around and down to South Spit road (there's no aerial or satellite that's up to date - Google maps particularly out of date). the spit I believe is connected to the land on the south side at the moment (there were whitebaiters with their 4x4's on the south side)
