    Found this Maggie in our front yard just now, and I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with it or not. It’s not at all scared of us, and I got quite close (<1m) with no reaction. It’s eaten a few salada crumbs and had a drink, but does look a bit bunched, and is just staying in the yard. Is it worth calling wildlife rescue? OH thinks we should leave it and see how it goes.

      Leave and see how it goes. If it’s still there tomorrow, then maybe call rescue. This is early pairing up season for maggies, so it might just have been tossed out of the parental nest/territory.

        Turns out it’s missing its tail. I did end up calling and they suggested catching it and taking it to the vet, but it wasn’t having any of that and is now on the neighbour’s roof. I’ll keep an eye on it and leave food & water out. Hope it’s ok, poor thing.
