This is a great shot of a maggy! I watched one yesterday do that funny trance of theirs - have you seen that Niel? Looks like they've just come out of the pub ha ha, head to the side, mouth open, staring in to space. I gather they are sun-bathing, but it's the freakiest type of sun-bathing I've ever seen, human or animal! Posted 3 years ago

  Thanks Ruth. I've actually seen one sit on a patio chair with its wings spread, soaking up the sun. Posted 3 years ago
