Surprised it was up and about in the day time. Perhaps it got disturbed somehow.

@TheBeastOfBaglan @GnomeBones from what I've read, If they're out in the day it's usually either because their roost has been disturbed, or they are hungry/thirsty (especially if they have young to feed). This one also seemed significantly bigger than those I'm used to seeing flitting around at twilight
