Description

This may have been the individual in /observations/2617517. It was chased by another red male, and landed on this stalk, the other male landed a little way behind it on the same stalk. This one then spread its wings apart, which is not their usual resting posture. The other one flew off shortly after. It gradually brought its wings back to the normal resting position.
