Submitted by: agardener
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think I saw this same individual the later afternoon before, near the same place about 17:00. It was sitting with its wings closed on the decking in the garden. I watched it sit there for over 5 minutes without it moving. This morning it was flying around more and then rested on the decking again with its wings open.
