Australian Magpie “anting”or what?

By Birding-Aus, on October 21st, 2020%

For years I’ve been watching magpies in Blackheath, regardless of the temperature, mild or red-hot, lying down in a sort of trance-like state. But they are alert. Someone somewhere mentioned that they are “anting”. Any published papers and evidence available on what they are actually doing?

 

Thanks
